Academic Integrity in the era of Artificial Intelligence

October 13, 2023 — 
To work more efficiently, we’ve all used certain Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as spellcheck, Google and automatic citation generators for years without much thought. As AI becomes more sophisticated and accessible, students are asking how it can be used, and how extensively to use it before it while maintaining academic integrity.

Connect to your future through experiential learning

September 18, 2023 — 
The University of Manitoba is a place for learning. Here you learn from books, lectures, classroom discussions and labs–all part of your educational journey, but not necessarily the whole story. Experiential Learning (EL) is all about you; about the skills you are looking to build, and ways to develop those skills and competencies. It allows you to gain experience and learn by doing. EL can happen inside a classroom, as a part of a course experience, or it can be something that you seek out outside of their coursework. Experiential Learning that happens outside your classes takes place in the workplace, on the land, and in community settings. Reflection is a big part of EL. When you reflect on your experience, you can better connect your learning to real world situations.
