Generative AI in Post-Secondary Education
Generative AI has become a prominent force in post-secondary education and there are ongoing discussions about its potential benefits and drawbacks for teaching and learning. But how are students and educators responding to the ongoing AI revolution? This seminar presents findings from a nationally representative survey fielded in December 2023 and January 2024. The presentation will discuss frequency of use, perspectives, and experiences with generative AI among post-secondary students and educators, focusing on differences by gender, cultural background, age, field of study, and institution type.
Please note that there will be an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of the session.
