GenAI Dialogue with Rahul Bhat: GenAI and Supporting Student Learning

Presenter: Rahul Bhat, Team Lead and Learning Strategist, Centre for Learning Strategy Support (CLSS) 
GenAI Dialogues are informal, 30-minute online sessions where U of T instructors and staff share how they are navigating generative AI in their teaching and learning contexts. Building on discussions from the GenAI Reading Group (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/#reading-group), each session features a colleague sharing their experience around a particular theme, followed by open dialogue on what’s working, what’s uncertain, and what we’re considering next. 
In this session: Rahul Bhat will share how the Centre for Learning Strategy Support (CLSS) is taking a learning-science grounded approach to questions about AI and student learning. He will walk through resources and supports offered to U of T students on using generative AI responsibly, and will offer considerations on how AI tool use can lead to both skilling and de-skilling.
