Putting a chatbot into a course is easy. Designing AI that meaningfully improves learning is much harder.
In this webinar, educators and instructional leaders from various institutions will reveal how they are creating AI-powered experiences that prompt students to think, practice, reflect, and build understanding. Drawing from real online and hybrid courses, they’ll share how they identified the right opportunities for AI, brought those experiences into existing curricula, and kept educators firmly in control.
Discover what it takes to turn AI from another course feature into a purposeful part of the learning experience and walk away with practical insights for designing AI that deepens learning rather than shortcuts it.
