Embracing or Resisting? Unpacking Faculty and Student Reactions to Generative AI in Higher Education
December 10th, 2024, 10h am EST (Montréal)
Lecturer: Dr. Catherine Déri
Webinar description: During this webinar, Catherine Déri will present recent findings on how university professors and undergraduate students reacted to generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) during the two years following the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. The data collected in overs 6,000 questionnaires and 200 interviews reveal that students were quicker than professors to familiarize themselves with GenAI tools and remain ahead of the game with their usage of the new technology. A discussion will include the reasons why some individuals are still reluctant to integrate GenAI in their personal and professional lives, such as lack of training and policies, environmental and ethical values, resistance to change and concerns with data security. Finally, two different frameworks will be proposed to better adjust to new technologies in educational settings.
