The Alberta Association of Academic Libraries is thrilled to announce Sarah Eaton as the
keynote speaker for the upcoming AAAL Spring Meeting (Friday, May 3rd at Red Deer Polytechnic). Registration for the AAAL Spring AGM is open until Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

Sarah Elaine Eaton, PhD, is an associate professor at the Werklund School of Education,
University of Calgary, Canada, who holds a concurrent appointment as an Honorary
Associate Professor, Deakin University, Australia. She researches and writes about academic integrity (a lot).

Title: Comprehensive Academic Integrity in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Description: Teaching and assessment have become increasingly complex with the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) apps and tools that students can access freely or at a low cost. In this talk, Eaton provides insights into how Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and similar apps are impacting teaching, learning, and assessment. Eaton will share insights from a recent research project she is leading at the University of Calgary in which the team is asking the question: What are the ethical implications of artificial intelligence technologies for teaching, learning, and assessment? She will also share the latest developments in the global academic integrity landscape, sharing highlights from the recently published Second Handbook of Academic Integrity (2024, Springer).

Please note that this session is not about how to use specific tools. Instead, we will delve into the broad ethical and practical implications of AI for education in a post-plagiarism age.

Registration for the AAAL Spring AGM is open until Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
