Exploring AI to Develop Concrete Examples for Teaching

Sept. 22, 2023, 12:45 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | Virtual

Facilitator: Jennifer McLeer, Sheetal Sood, & Lisa Zawilinski

Generative AI is likely here to stay. One of the best ways to better understand the capabilities and drawbacks of AI is to explore how it might support YOU. This session provides an opportunity to "play" with one chatbot to see what it can efficiently offer you. Providing students with concrete examples is one, research-proven strategy, that can aid student learning. However, creating these examples is time-consuming. Can AI help instructors do this more efficiently? Join us to explore! No previous experience with AI is required. Facilitators will briefly share their experiences/examples. Participants will craft their own prompts and explore the output.

Nov. 6, 2023, 12:45 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | In-person

Discussion Facilitators: Judy Wyman, Olga Sharp, & Bevin Rainwater
