The emergence of powerful generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is having a significant and disruptive impact on higher education today. Almost immediately after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, students began leveraging it to help with a variety of course-related tasks, often including the completion of writing and other types of assignments. At the same time, nearly all business sectors now anticipate using generative AI in the workplace, and many are already reporting challenges filling roles that now require AI skills.

While the initial inclination may have been to limit AI’s influence in the classroom, higher education now has the companion challenge of preparing students for a world where working with AI is increasingly likely to be a job expectation and a sought-after competency. How can we ensure that our students achieve the learning outcomes we have designed for our courses while also preparing them for a world where collaborating with AI is increasingly expected? Responding to this question is the key purpose of this workshop series.

Led by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson, authors of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2024), this four-part, live workshop series will help participants understand the current AI landscape; address academic integrity in meaningful and fair-minded ways; craft assignments that ensure course outcomes as well as AI literacies are developed; and utilize AI to assist with course design, development, and management tasks.

Series Schedule: All workshops will be held from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. ET

  • Working with AI for Teaching and Learning

  • Cheating, Detection, and Policy

  • Assignments and Writing

  • AI to Improve Classes and Courses

These workshops will take place live and include current-to-the-moment information regarding generative AI and its possibilities for higher education. There will also be guidance and opportunities for participants to apply AI within their own learning contexts between workshop sessions. Sharing, interaction, and exploration will be hallmarks of this hands-on workshop series.
