GenAI has forever changed how we learn, teach, work, and perhaps even play. Its capabilities, as well as student use, are here to stay and accelerating at a pace that can make even the most tech-savvy among us feel overwhelmed. But if we, as educators, don’t teach students why, how, and when to use AI, who will? In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to infuse AI requirements into your assignments and provide examples of assignments that teach AI fluency.

Intended Audience:

Instructional faculty, both college and K-12, in all disciplines teaching all modalities, are the primary audience, regardless of their level of experience with GenAI tools. We’ll begin by quickly providing basics about GenAI (for the curious, but uninitiated), and then move on to its practical applications by providing ideas and strategies educators can use immediately. Offices and staff that support faculty in teaching are a secondary audience; they will gain ideas on GenAI that will help their work with faculty.

Key Takeaways:

In this webinar, you’ll…

  • Consider the importance of embracing AI in college courses for workplace readiness
  • Learn a working definition of AI fluency and how to teach its components
  • Leave with examples of over 60 ready-to-use, multi-disciplinary assignments
