GenAI Teaching Lounge
We’re excited to introduce the GenAI Teaching Lounge: an informal, virtual space where educators can gather over a hot drink to explore teaching ideas with Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Curious about using AI tools to support assessment design? Wondering how to centralize student voices when integrating AI into coursework? Or simply want to share your own stories and tea with others? The Lounge is your space to ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn with colleagues.

EdTech Sandbox Series: Claude vs. ChatGPT – Choosing the Right AI for the Job
This hands-on session is designed to help post-secondary educators explore and compare two of the most widely used AI tools for teaching and learning. Participants will test both Claude and ChatGPT using the same prompts and tasks to observe the differences in tone, depth, and usability, and reflect on how each tool might support their own teaching context.
Nov 26 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Conferences
There are many conferences you can attend virtually or in person. Clayton R. Wright maintains an excellent international conference list of Educational Technology & Education Conferences.
You'll want to exercise your own due diligence about which conferences you may want to attend or submit a paper to.
We suggest you assure yourself that the conference is legitimate by checking its website for credible information:
- dates and locations
- conference organizers
- conference sponsors
- fees
- submission dates
- editorial committee
- program and venue details
If you're not certain whether a conference is legitimate, consider using the Think, Check, Attend tool to confirm its academic credentials.
