Aligning Classroom use of AI with your Discipline and Instructional Goals

Nov 25, 2024, 2:00 – 3:00 PM

As generative AI technology evolves, it can be tempting to incorporate it into our classes simply for the novelty. However, the most effective use of AI in teaching and learning occurs when the use aligns with the core principles of our disciplines and the learning objectives of our courses. Join us to explore strategies for integrating AI in your teaching in a way that supports your disciplinary goals and enhances student learning.

Enhancing your AI skills for Teaching

Oct 3, 2024, 12:30 – 1:30 PM

There is no instruction manual for knowing all there is to know about generative AI. But instructors can incorporate certain practices in their experimentation to upskill their use of AI for teaching and learning. Join us for an interactive session that invites educators to build your skills in using AI for teaching.

Teaching Students to be Skilled Users of AI

Sep 9, 2024, 2:00 – 3:00 PM

The task of teaching students to be discerning, thoughtful users of generative AI can feel daunting, especially when we ourselves are not experts. This workshop will explore strategies for teaching students to become skilled users of AI in academic and professional settings. We will consider methods for fostering critical thinking and ethical awareness of the use of AI tools through interactive discussion and demonstrations.

GenAI as Teaching Assistant

Apr 10, 2024, 3:00 – 4:30 PM

If you are curious about how Generative AI could assist you within your course, then this session is for you. When you are designing and building out various components of your course, Generative AI might be well positioned to assist you over the summer as you prepare for fall. During this semester, my students have been leveraging AI to help them develop a learning module in their field and we will share our lessons learned. Plus, you will also be given opportunities to explore a variety of tools during the session.

Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Design Lab

Feb 21, 2024, 2:00 – 3:30 PM

This session is a continuation of the workshop series exploring assignment design with AI in mind. Attendees should bring an existing assignment to the session to share. During this session, we will collaborate with one another to craft a transparent assignment that includes how Generative AI may be used by students.
