News

A recent article from CBC explores how AI tools are being used at Holland College and the University of New Brunswick. Holland College is weaving AI into nearly all aspects of its coursework in order to ensure that students learn how to use and critique the tool, according to CBC. UNB Research Institute in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Associate Scientific Director Stijn De Baerdemacker shared that “everything has moved now into in-person evaluation and […] oral examinations” in order to better gauge student understanding. De Baerdemacker also emphasized the importance of ensuring students develop a strong foundation in the material themselves, before drawing on AI tools.
