Description
In recent years, the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various fields, including education. In 2022, the emergence of ChatGPT generated questions and reflections about the impact of AI on academic teaching and evaluation practices, particularly regarding the academic integrity of students' work and productions, which are increasingly mediated by AI. In this context, it is important to investigate how AI can be used ethically and effectively in the academic environment, considering the challenges and opportunities that arise with this new technological reality. Based on this, this research project aims to explore the implications of AI on academic integrity, identifying possible solutions and strategies to ensure the quality and reliability of academic productions in an increasingly AI-mediated scenario.

ChatGPT_ Portuguese Language at York University
This study explores the potential contribution of ePortfolio and ChatGPT technologies to language teaching and examines their effectiveness for intercultural mediation among Portuguese language students at York University, Canada. The research questions include: How do teachers' understanding of technological resources impact their teaching practices and evaluation processes? How are language teachers adapting to new teaching technologies in constantly changing learning contexts? The investigation takes place in a multilingual and multicultural online synchronous learning environment using Zoom. The ePortfolio and ChatGPT activities cover language, literature, art, culture, entertainment, and information, considering the sociocultural dimensions of interactional processes and the relationship between multiliteracies perspectives, multiculturalism, and cultural components in language education. The practices provide teaching, research, analysis, synthesis, and language recording activities related to various topics discussed by the interactants. The experiences with the technological resources contribute to the creative dimension of teaching and provide a critical understanding of their limitations.
