Description:
Designed for time-strapped faculty, this workshop explores practical ways to integrate AI into existing teaching workflows. Participants will examine everyday instructional tasks—such as designing rubrics or lesson plans—and identify areas where AI can improve efficiency or enhance student support.
This workshop is part of the 'AI Essentials for Teaching and Learning' pathway:
0: Introduction to Generative AI (Foundational)
1: AI Literacy for Higher Education (Foundational)
2: AI Prompting: Safety and Strategies (Foundational)
3: Designing AI-Enhanced Teaching Workflows (Foundational)
4: Designing AI-Conscious Courses (Foundational)
To get the most out of 'Designing AI-Enhanced Teaching Workflows,' we strongly encourage participants to have taken topics 0-2 prior to the session or have an equivalent foundational understanding of how generative AI works, responsible and ethical use of AI, and strategies for secure and effective prompting.
