Description

Join us for the first of three workshops designed to help us think together about engaging Artificial Intelligence (AI) for teaching, learning, and assessment. In the first session, we’ll explore “Thinking with AI,” part one of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning (2024), by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson. The introduction and the first three chapters help readers to gain context on how AI developed; how AI is changing the work world (and the changes anticipated); and why AI literacy is vital. The last chapter in this section explores how AI can interact with and enhance our creativity.

The October 30 session will focus on Part II: Teaching with AI, and the November 13 session will focus on Part III: Learning with AI. You may join us for one or all of these discussions as your schedule and interests allow.

Special thanks to the faculty from the 2023-24 FLCs on teaching in the era of AI, who recommended this reading.
