University of Calgary Prof. Sarah Elaine Eaton poses for a portrait on campus on Jan 27, 2023. Eaton, who works in the Faculty of Education at the University of Calgary, is a leading voice on the study of academic integrity.
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.
