An Introduction to AI Tools for Educators

• Description: Curious about generative AI but not sure where to start? In this video, Kyle Harms, Senior Lecturer in Information Science and MTEI Teaching Fellow, breaks down the basics of what generative AI tools are and how they work. Then, Harms walks Erik Eshelman, University Engineer and Director of Engineering, Facilities Engineering – and a self-professed ChatGPT newbie – through just a few examples of what AI can and cannot do, and what that might look like in the classroom. There are many more examples of how generative AI may impact the classroom, and this conversation is just one of them.

Harnessing AI to Enhance Students' Learning Experience

• Description: In this workshop, we discuss how A.I. can affect teaching and learning – primarily how it can impact your students’ course assessment activities. We’ll also discuss how you can re-examine your assignments to better align tasks with higher level learning outcomes and – as we review current concerns about the use of A.I. – we’ll consider where A.I. use is not recommended, as well as sharing some examples of appropriate use of A.I.
