Generative Artificial Intelligence: Practical Uses in Education (open text)

By Troy Heaps, Red River College Polytechnic.

"This Open Educational Resource (OER) was produced for educators who wish to find positive and productive ways to incorporate generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools into their work. This includes:

using AI tools to develop courses, lesson plans, activities, assessments, and rubrics;
leveraging AI tools to enhance existing in-class activities and assignments;
teaching students how to engage with AI effectively, ethically, and responsibly;
utilizing AI tools to efficiently complete administrative tasks.

This resource is focused on how AI tools can be used in polytechnic education. However, much of the content will also be relevant to educators in other educational contexts, like university or high school. The term ‘instructional staff’ is used widely in this resource and is meant to include instructors, professors, lecturers, teachers, educational assistants, and tutors."
