Description
The AI (Artificial Intelligence) evolution is here! There is a proliferation of academic articles, popular culture representations, and workshops with the AAC&U and other educational organizations. Let’s face it, there is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube—AI is already in our students’ lives. We must stop thinking this happened overnight. Teaching with technology has been around for decades. As educators, we have legitimate concerns about students researching, analyzing, and producing their own work. So, how do we include AI in the classroom or in assignments while facilitating student independent learning and creativity? As with any technology that changes the classroom dynamics, many of us luddites are reeling. Still, we do not need to know exactly how an automobile engine works to drive the car. We do need to understand the rules of the road. Using the best existing educational practices—active learning, transparency, and authentic student engagement—we can introduce students to AI and teach them how to use it to enhance their own learning, thus preparing them for the 21st-century workplace. This interactive presentation will present these best practices and integrate them with AI to create opportunities for student engagement, collaboration, and commitment to ethical academic guidelines for research and producing one’s own work.
