Always be aware of UVic generative AI guidelines and policies.
Due to privacy and safety concerns, personal data and private research data must never be uploaded into any AI. UVic also restricts the use of DeepSeek on the UVic network and for UVic-owned devices.
This series of workshops is designed to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff by offering foundational to advanced workshops on a growing range of topics related to the use of generative AI tools.
If you’d like to take a drop-in instructor-led workshop, please check out our list of upcoming workshops.
The workshop materials include full lesson plans, and can be used by individuals for self-paced learning, or by instructors with their classes.
We invite you to download, adopt, remix, or share our short introductory presentation templates on GenAI.
Navigating Legal Research with GenAI: An Open Tutorial Series is a collection of four concise, interactive modules designed to introduce legal researchers to the evolving role of Generative AI in legal research, and to guide them in using GenAI ethically, responsibly, and critically.
The modules are intended as an open educational resource that can be used and adapted by others. All four modules are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
Please contact us at lawref@uvic.ca for access to the web or SCORM files which can be integrated into website or LMS environments, including Brightspace at UVic.
These modules were created by Sarah Miller and Emily Nickerson, law librarians at the University of Victoria Libraries, with support from Keilah Abello, GenAI and Digital Literacy Intern.
We are grateful to the many reviewers who have given their time to assist us in the creation of these modules: Gillian Calder, Erica Friesen, Artie Goshulak, Jessie Lampreau, Rich McCue, Karen Munro, Andrew Newcombe, Hannah Steeves, and Natalie Vandenberg.
