Introduction to Teaching and Thinking with AI with José Antonio Bowen

Watch the Introduction to Teaching and Thinking with AI Video

This practical session will help you discover what AI can do for you (grant applications, recommendation letters and faster grading?) and how students are already using it (sometimes to cheat). AI is already changing human working and thinking and it will be key to know which tasks are essential for humans to do (and for your students to learn). AI is also changing how we think about average. If AI can produce consistent "C" work than we need to update our policies around grading. AI is also even changing creativity and we will experiment with how AI can help you create better assignments, classroom exercises, and increase student engagement. Plan to use your laptop to learn how AI improves your work flow and teaching while giving you more time for the rest of your life.
