Pre-Conference Workshop Description
In this 3.5-hour workshop we explore AI's transformative potential in higher education. If you’ve been intending to experiment with AI, but can’t seem to find the time, this workshop is for you!
In the morning session (1.5 hours) participants will view demonstrations from faculty in the humanities and sciences showing current and potential uses of AI in teaching and learning. They will gain hands-on experience using AI for creating rubrics, quizzes, image generation, summaries, alt text, document summaries, images, and course outlines.
After lunch, participants will extend their learning (2-hour afternoon session) by developing a brief AI training to teach colleagues how to implement these AI tools on their own campuses.
Throughout the workshop, we examine possibilities, address equity issues, and showcase AI applications in teaching and learning. Drawing from our spring 2024 faculty survey, this session provides a platform for participants to develop approaches to help them become AI champions at their institutions.
