Beyond Grading
When does AI support learning and when does it get in the way?
December 8, 9am - 12pm
This year's symposium invites McGill instructors to critically examine where AI supports learning, when it may be counterproductive, and how decisions about its use can inform course design.
Ongoing programming:
Course design
Our course design offerings are available in three formats to suit different schedules and approaches to planning.
Learning communities
Take part in interdisciplinary exchanges with colleagues from across McGill. Build community knowledge, engage in thoughtful discussion, and share classroom experiences.
Workshops
We regularly offer workshops for McGill instructors and units, on a variety of topics relevant to McGill’s diverse teaching and learning landscape.
Workshops are available either scheduled or on request.
Teaching Assistant Training
Offered in September and January
We offer pedagogical training to equip teaching assistants (TAs) with skills and strategies to effectively support student learning at McGill.
Teaching for Learning Month
Each May, we dedicate the month to teaching and learning, in collaboration with units across McGill. Throughout the month, we plan a variety of facilitated events as well as self-access activities that can be completed asynchronously.
Open Classrooms Week
An opportunity for instructors to visit each other’s classes to observe different teaching practices, bring fresh energy to their own classrooms, and foster a sense of community and openness around teaching.
