    Session Description:

    AU’s Green Teaching Certificate has the potential to prompt critical discussion about the impacts of classroom technologies and practices, from generative AIs to updating digital equipment. In this panel and co-creation workshop, participants will share perspectives on the future of green teaching and originate initial proposed updates to the certificate that will reflect the challenges of environmentally-aware teaching in the digital age.

    Learning Outcomes:

    • Engage in a wide-ranging conversation about the environmental impacts and ethical implications of using pedagogical tools from paper to AIs
    • Co-create initial recommendations for revisions to the Green Teaching Certificate that continue to position AU at the cutting edge of conversations about green teaching
    • Participants are invited to give continuing input into the updated certificate
