AI technologies are poised to radically transform society, already impacting how we learn, work, and interact. Educators, institutions, and partnering organizations are challenged to both map and navigate an evolving landscape. Generative AI has provided the most notable example of the new reality, highlighting the promise and the peril of AI for education. All learners, regardless of their background or area of study, need to develop AI literacy and skills. For this reason, Dawson College has taken a comprehensive approach to AI education. This presentation will share experiences, strategies, and lessons learned by the DawsonAI initiative.
To illustrate a range of approaches that can be taken to implement AI into education, the presentation will feature classroom activities, projects, and events undertaken by Dawson College students. In particular, the role of experiential learning will be highlighted, drawing on examples from collaborations with research and nonprofit partners. This will provide a framework for exploring the notion of future-ready education in the AI era and the importance of forging partnerships.
An open discussion on topics of interest to the IEEE Education Society will be an important component of the presentation. The general goals are to initiate dialogue, share valuable insights, and explore possibilities for future collaborations.
