Join us for our second conversation related to the Auburn University Teaching with AI course. All Lakehead faculty and teaching staff are welcome to participate.
In this community of practice, we will discuss the topics covered in Module 2 (Ethical Considerations of AI in Higher Education) as well as practical assignment ideas using artificial intelligence. You are welcome to join us, whether you're a novice or a more experienced faculty member, and whether you are taking the course or not.
In this second session, we seek to continue cultivating a sense of community, empowering educators to explore how we may harness AI's potential to inspire and equip the next generation of learners.
As a reminder, our hope for this community of practice is to focus on investigating the pedagogical applications of AI in education, with an emphasis on collaborative exploration, sharing insights, and fostering creativity in teaching and learning. Our primary goal is to create a supportive environment for educators, encouraging the positive integration of AI tools in the classroom to enhance student engagement and success. Please note: we are NOT focusing on policing their use.
Join us on this educational journey where curiosity meets innovation and teaching with AI becomes an exciting, shared adventure!
Zoom Link will be emailed the day before the event.
