If you’re ready to move beyond general principles of AI-related educational changes to understand, plan, and activate new AI-enhanced teaching strategies in your discipline, this is the webinar for you. This AI Workshop, tailored for university instructors seeking to elevate their teaching practices begins with a brief overview of discipline-agnostic AI-related principles, then explores concrete tactics for using generative AI to enhance student engagement, streamline learning experiences, and foster innovative teaching methodologies.
Attendees were invited to smaller discipline-specific groups, with educator-coaches from those disciplines, to practice incorporating domain-specific tips and strategies to integrate AI into class assignments and assessments. Watch the webinar today and be part of these vibrant, practical working sessions, and harness the power of collective expertise to optimise AI integration within your course.
