Description
USING AI TO IMPROVE CLASSES AND COURSES. This is the final webinar in a four-part webinar series on Teaching with AI hosted by the AAC&U. Faculty and staff are welcome to register for any and all topics that pique their interest. Attendance at all four webinars is NOT required. Following the viewing of the one-hour webinar, a brief discussion will be facilitated by David Eick, Modern Languages and Literatures and Pew FTLC Faculty Fellow. Light snacks will be provided.
The emergence of powerful generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is having a significant and disruptive impact on higher education today. Almost immediately after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, students began leveraging it to help with a variety of course-related tasks, often including the completion of writing and other types of assignments. At the same time, nearly all business sectors now anticipate using generative AI in the workplace, and many are already reporting challenges filling roles that now require AI skills.
While the initial inclination may have been to limit AI’s influence in the classroom, higher education now has the companion challenge of preparing students for a world where working with AI is increasingly likely to be a job expectation and a sought-after competency. How can we ensure that our students achieve the learning outcomes we have designed for our courses while also preparing them for a world where collaborating with AI is necessary? Responding to this question is the key purpose of this workshop series.
Led by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson, authors of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2024), this four-part, live workshop series will help participants understand the current AI landscape; address academic integrity in meaningful and fair-minded ways; craft assignments that ensure course outcomes as well as AI literacies are developed; and utilize AI to assist with course design, development, and management tasks.
For very session you join, your name is entered into a raffle to win a copy of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning upon its release in April 2024.
This event has been tagged as accu, artificial, intelligence, and webinar.
