Research Assistants are normally students, in a University of Winnipeg undergraduate program, employed to assist with tasks related to research. Work is performed within defined guidelines and under supervision of a more senior researcher or faculty member.
**Position Overview**:
Artificial intelligence (AI) has upended K-12 and higher education. Barely recovered from the pandemic, schools are now grappling with a suite of technologies capable of generating writing, images, video, and music in ways that few teachers have formal training to address. The AI landscape is also rapidly shifting. Each month, new tools gain traction, new data arise about AI use, and new misconceptions take root as teachers attempt to navigate policies that variously ban AI outright, embrace it enthusiastically, or leave AI decision making up to individual teachers. The result is inconsistency and increased risk of pedagogical and ethical errors. Teachers and school systems need support to navigate these challenges at local and policy levels.
