You are invited to attend the TLA (Teaching-Learning-Assessment) Auxin seminar of 2024, offered by the Centre for Teaching and Learning:
Topic: AI is a tool, not a source: GenAI literacy for SU
Speakers: Dr. Hanelie Adendorff and Dalene Joubert
Date: 13 August 2024
Time: 13:00–14:00
Place: online via MS Teams: Join the meeting now
Join us for the next Auxin session, where we explore generative artificial
intelligence literacies in teaching, learning, and assessment (TLA) at Stellenbosch
University (SU). The phrase “AI is a tool, not a source” has become a bit of a
mantra in our communication around GenAI and TLA. But what exactly does
it mean, and what are the practical implications of this assertion?
In this session, we will discuss:
• SU's guidelines for allowable AI use and our AI literacies framework.
• Sticky topics such as AI bias and referencing AI tools.
Throughout the conversation and with practical examples, we will highlight
the distinction between using AI as a supportive tool versus relying on it as
a source of information. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our TLA
practices, understanding this distinction is crucial for maintaining academic
integrity and enhancing the effectiveness of our work. Together, we can
navigate this evolving landscape and become more comfortable with the
not-so-new-anymore-kid on the TLA block.
Dalene Joubert is the new addition to the CTL advisors’ team at
SU. She holds a joint Master's Degree from SU and the University
of Leiden, a PGCE from Unisa and she is currently busy with her
PhD in Translations Studies at SU. Dalene has a passion for
learning and teaching and has been in the space for over a
decade – she taught at both Rhodes University and SU and has
also been a high school teacher. She loves her work and is
currently exploring the intersection where AI, TLA, and SU meet.
Hanelie Adendorff is a senior advisor in the CTL at SU. She has a
PhD in chemistry but has been working in professional
development since 2002. Her career and professional
development started with an interest in blended learning, but she
has since included work in the areas of assessment, facilitation of
collaborative learning, science education, and more recently, the
decolonization of the science curriculum. As a member of the
Faculty of Science’s teaching and learning hub, she works with
the Vice-Dean (Teaching and Learning) to enhance the status of
teaching in the faculty.

isiXhosa:
i-AI sisixhobo, asingomthombo: i-GenAI yokufunda nokubhala
kwiYunivesithi yaseStellebosch
Dibana nathi kumjikelo alandelayo we-Auxin apho siza kuphonononga
ubuchule bobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kwemveliso kuvavanyo lokufundisa nokufunda kwiYunivesithi yaseStellenbosch (SU). Ibinzana elithi "AI
sisixhobo, kungekhona umthombo" liliculo lwemihla ngemihla
kunxibelelwano lwethu xakuthetwa neGenAI kunye novavanyo lokuFundisa-nokufunda. Kodwa lithetha ukuthini kanye kanye, kwaye
zithini iimpembelelo ezisebenzayo zesi simangalo?
Kulomjikelo ulandelayo we-Auxin, siza kuxoxa nge:
Zikhokhelo ze-SU zosetyenziso oluvumelekileyo lwe-AI kunye nesakhelo
sethu sokufunda nokubhala se-AI.
Izihloko ezibuthathaka ezifana nenketho ebucala kwi-AI kunye nezixhobo
ezibhekiselele ekwalathiseni nge-AI.
Kuyo yonke incoko kunye nemizekelo ebonakalayo, siya kuqaqambisa
umahluko phakathi kokusebenzisa i-AI njengesixhobo esixhasayo
ngokuchasene nokuxhomekeka kuyo njengomthombo wolwazi. Njengoko
i-AI isiya idityaniswa ngakumbi kwiinkqubo zethu zovavanyo, zokufundisa,
nokufunda, ukuqonda lo mahluko kubalulekile ekugcineni intembeko
kwizifundo kunye nokuphucula impumelelo yomsebenzi wethu. Sikunye,
sinokujonga kulo mhlaba uvelayo kwaye sikhululeke ngakumbi
ngomntwana ongamtshanga ekufundisweni nokufunda, novavanywa
eyunivesithi.
