SUMMARY:Building Trust Through Transparent AI Communication
DESCRIPTION:As AI tools become part of everyday practices\, teaching assistants play a crucial role in helping students understand and navigate responsible AI use. Whether you’re implementing AI policies developed by your course instructor or contributing to their creation\, clear communication about AI expectations becomes an essential part of your teaching practice. Grounded in the University of Toronto AI Task Force’s principles\, this session takes a pedagogy-driven approach to helping TAs and course instructors articulate and support AI expectations in ways that build trust and transparency with students.In this session\, you will explore how to: • Communicate your course’s AI policies clearly and consistently across tutorials\, office hours\, and assignment feedback• Understand how AI policies connect to learning objectives so you can explain the “why” behind expectations• Navigate common student questions and challenging conversations about AI use• Support ongoing dialogue about AI through your interactions with students rather than one-time policy enforcementThis session provides teaching assistants and course instructors with practical strategies for communicating AI expectations in ways that support student learning. Whether you are developing your AI communication approach or refining existing strategies\, we will explore how transparent communication about GenAI serves both pedagogical goals and student development\, helping learners build critical judgment about appropriate resource use.

SUMMARY:Course Instructor Training Camp - April 2026 (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This training consists of two parts:• Seven     asynchronous learning modules (3.5 hours)• Two synchronous     online workshop sessions (2.5 hours total). You must complete the 7 asynchronous modules before youcan attend the workshops (see self-enrolment links below). For the synchronous sessions\, participants are expected tobe present online for the full duration of each session. Part 1: Asynchronous ModulesThe asynchronous modules focus on many of theprinciple components of course design\, including learning outcomes\,assessments\, syllabus design\, and lecture planning. They additionally highlighthow these components are informed by UDL (Universal Design for Learning) andEquity-Oriented Pedagogy. We also discuss policies and course administrationdetails that are specific to the University of Toronto. The content covered inthese modules is applicable to face-to-face\, hybrid\, and online learningcontexts.Upon completion of the asynchronous modules\, you will beable to: • List     the fundamental principles of course design • Apply     the principles of Universal Design for Learning to your course design • Create     courses that reduce barriers to learning and foster an inclusive     environment • Develop     effective\, well-designed courses and lectures that engage your students • Design     a learner-centered syllabus that fosters student resilience • Describe     considerations for equity related to all aspects of course development • Outline     and implement University policies and administration concerning your     course design and delivery Part 2: Online Workshops 2. Syllabus     Peer Review + Q & A: Participants will receive feedback on their course     syllabus and provide feedback to one of their peers. This activity will     help participants identify areas of strength and potential areas for     improvement in their syllabus. For this reason\, we require participants     to bring a draft of a syllabus – it does not have to be a finished or     polished draft and can be for a course you have taught before\, a course     you are about to teach\, or a course you would like to teach in the future.     The first synchronous session will also include time for a     question-and-answer period\, where participants are welcome to ask     questions about concepts introduced in the asynchronous modules\, or other     aspects of course design. The first synchronous session will be 1.5 hours     long. 4. Effective     Practices for Engaging Lectures: This session focuses on how CIs can deliver engaging     and equitable lectures. We explore three key areas\, including inclusive     lecturing\, active learning\, and reflective practice. We will discuss     strategies that are relevant in both face-to-face and online learning     contexts\, and we will consider these strategies with accessibility and     inclusivity in mind. The second synchronous session will be 1 hour long. Enrolment Information & Online Workshop Schedule 2.
