Dr. Amanda Cooper

Professor and Dean, Frazer Faculty of Education

Dr. Amanda Cooper champions a human-centered approach to integrating AI into learning environments, ensuring that technological advancement aligns with values of equity, integrity and social responsibility.

She explores how to prepare students with the AI skills they need to succeed in evolving labour markets by developing training, curriculum and resources to support responsible use of AI as a teaching tool at every stage of education.

Her conference presentations examine the fast-changing role of AI in education, addressing the opportunities and challenges it introduces across all levels of learning. She highlights:

  • The need for AI literacy among educators and students.
  • The importance of safeguarding academic integrity.
  • The potential of generative AI to enhance learning.
  • The lack of AI-specific policy guidelines in Ontario school districts.
  • The need to move beyond isolated efforts in individual classrooms or schools to a co-ordinated, strategic approach that prepares the entire education system to engage with AI in a thoughtful, ethical and effective way.
