What does trust look like in a higher education classroom? (How) Can we trust GenAI tools? How does our pedagogical approach to GenAI impact the trust between instructors and students, or between students?

This session will begin with a summary of an international research collaboration on the topic of instructor-student trust in higher education. The Dal SoTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) researchers that have been contributing to this project will briefly discuss the background of this trust research, including the trust framework that has emerged from it, and the results of the work that has been done here at Dal.

We will then have a group discussion about how the concept of trust in the university classroom might apply to, or intersect with discussions of GenAI in this setting.
