Generative AI can enhance student learning by stimulating creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In this hands-on workshop, you will work with faculty, CFE and COLRS staff to design or revise an assignment for your course that incorporates generative AI tools and techniques.
This could include ways your students could use Generative AI tools such as: ChatGPT, DALL-E, Gemini (Google) or Copilot (Microsoft).
Does it feel like technology is constantly changing and there is always something new to learn? That's because it is! Finding the time to learn new tools—or learn old tools that we never got around to learning—can be a challenge. That's where our Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet can help!
