As these tools continue to develop, and the institution continues to explore the opportunities and challenges involved, these recommendations will change. To learn more about the use of generative AI tools in your course, please contact The Centre for Teaching and Learning ([teaching@macewan.ca](mailto:teaching@macewan.ca)). Please contact the Academic Integrity Office ([aio@macewan.ca](mailto:aio@macewan.ca)) for specific academic integrity assistance.
