We are now sharing the world with Generative AI (GenAI), for better and for worse. All of the challenges – and all of the opportunities – that GenAI presents are here to stay. In the classroom, educators have an obligation to engage with GenAI and understand its implications on our lives and on how we teach. GenAI’s rapid development may present a daunting task for educators to harness it, but burying our collective heads in the sand is not a strategy for long-term success for ourselves nor, just as importantly, for our students.
In this hands-on session geared toward instructional designers and teachers at any level, presenters will show participants how to leverage the strengths of GenAI to make their course design and teaching practice more efficient and effective. Presenters will demystify GenAI for our less-experienced participants by introducing important considerations for GenAI use. The session will culminate in a demonstration, with participant input, exploring a few specific ways that a common GenAI tool such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot can augment a teacher's or instructional designer's practice as they design and build a course.
