Artificial Intelligence Virtual Tutor Initiative

The Artificial Intelligence Virtual Tutor Initiative includes faculty development activities to engage instructors in the development and administration of a Virtual Tutor in the form of a chatbot. The Virtual Tutor chatbots created as part of this program will be tailored to course materials leveraging Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to provide responses to student questions to support teaching and learning in courses offered in the fall term of 2024.

Participating instructors will be engaged with support staff and a cohort of peers during the design, deployment and evaluation phases of their project to extend our shared understanding of this new domain.

For more information on the AI Virtual Tutor pilot initiative, refer to the “Approved Tools” section of the Teaching with Generative AI at U of T website.
