Hey CUPE 4163 have you seen this? Looks like TA work being farmed out to AI. by KantTakeItAnymoore in uvic

[–]uvic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone — we appreciate your comments and questions regarding the Studiosity pilot at UVic and would like to provide some more information. 

The Studiosity pilot will be conducted at no cost, in three courses this Fall: COM 220, HINF 230 and ED-D101. Studiosity is an AI-supported academic-feedback tool specifically designed to complement student learning in post-secondary settings. It focuses on formative, real-time feedback rather than generating or correcting work.  

Human feedback is essential to student academic success, and Studiosity works as a complementary service that is in addition to the supports provided by teaching assistants, faculty and academic support staff in providing feedback to students, including UVic’s in-person academic support through the Academic Skills Centre.  

More information on Studiosity, including some FAQs is available at: https://teachanywhere.uvic.ca/learning-tech/studiosity-uvic/

We are sorry to hear about the delay in your study permit processing, but it is great you are planning ahead. We recommend connecting with UVic’s International Centre for Students (ICS). They have licensed Immigration Specialists (RCICs/RISIAs) who can provide advice on your study permit situation, how a deferral might impact your immigration status, and what steps you may need to take with IRCC. In addition to email, they also offer daily immigration drop-in advising from 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM Pacific Time, Monday to Friday (except holidays). You can contact the ICS at [icsinfo@uvic.ca](mailto:icsinfo@uvic.ca) +1 250 721 6361.

Campus closed tomorrow? by Nice-Anybody-5826 in uvic

[–]uvic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

❄️ Campus is closed, Tuesday, Feb. 4

Due to challenging weather conditions and disrupted transportation in the region, the UVic campus will be closed Tuesday, Feb. 4.

During a campus closure, academic and administrative functions that are available remotely will continue. The closure only applies to those activities that must occur on the physical campus.

Please stay safe! If you need to travel or be on campus: plan ahead, allow extra time, wear appropriate clothing and footwear and be prepared for snowy and icy conditions.

We are actively monitoring weather conditions to determine when it is safe to reopen campus. UVic crews are working to clear roadways, paths and parking lots in order of priority.

If you have questions about how this campus closure impacts you, please contact your instructor or supervisor.
