You are invited to join the April CIDER Session. This free, online session will feature Peter Mozelius, Marcia Håkansson Lindqvist, and Jimmy Jaldemark of Mid Sweden University, and Martha Cleveland-Innes of Athabasca University, discussing artificial intelligence and the need for teacher professional development.
*Note that this session begins at 9 a.m. (Mountain), two hours earlier than usual. Registration is not required; all are welcome to join.
Artificial Intelligence: Theories and Applications for Education and Working Life
In the current spring of artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI is purported to affect many areas, including higher education. To cope with this new situation, there is a large-scale need for teacher professional development. The project FAITH (Frontline Application of AI and Technology-enhanced Learning for Transforming Higher Education) is a higher education pedagogical development project that aims to develop institutional teaching development and education programs further. Using AI and technology-enhanced learning, teachers in higher education will work and develop programs that are adapted to work and study in a highly communicative, cloud-based, mobile, and smart AI-based society.
This interactive session will report on the preliminary data from the first participants, the next steps, and future research.
About CIDER Sessions: Call for presenters
The CIDER Sessions are an online, open and free seminar series through which researchers or research groups can present their work to a broad audience of fellow researchers, practitioners, and students from across Canada and around the world.
We invite researchers working in distance, distributed, online, or blended education. If you have recent research to share with our CIDER audience, contact dwilton@athabascau.ca with a brief description of your research topic and approximate date when it will be available for presentation. Spots are also available for students nearing completion of their dissertation or thesis. While CIDER’s focus is primarily on Canadian research, international presenters are welcome; all sessions are held in English.
