Description
How do we move faculty from AI awareness to meaningful implementation? Join us to discover how a small private college transformed faculty anxiety about AI into empowered engagement through our innovative AI Explorer program. Through four carefully crafted modules and monthly discussions, faculty progresses from basic AI literacy to implementation. Learn how our asynchronous approach, supplemented with synchronous community-building, helps faculty develop critical perspectives on AI while discovering practical applications for their disciplines.
