Change is exhausting. Over the last two years — since the release of ChatGPT —we’ve seen hundreds of “game-changing” AI products released. Again and again, we’ve been told to adapt or die. Hardly anyone can keep up. That puts educators and students in a tough spot. How do we respond to a world that is — supposedly — changing before our eyes?

Dr. Jason Gulya’s response is to teach durable skills and to focus on progress over product. In this session, he’ll talk about specific ways that he works that response into his online and onsite courses. In particular, he’ll talk about using AI to encourage critical thinking and analysis.

In the end, the rise of AI has not changed the principles of good teaching. We don’t need to fully abandon what we’ve been doing. But we do need to think about whether we’ve been doing everything we can to make our classrooms places of human connection and belonging.

In this session, we’ll begin by going over some of the reactive aspects of these changes: Generative AI is being brought into our classrooms in obvious and not-so-obvious ways. In the second half of the presentation, we’ll discuss how we can move from this reactive mindset to the proactive one. How can we move forward with all of these changes in mind? What specific actions can we take in the classroom to set up our students for success?

Take 15 minutes out of your busy schedule this Thursday, Feb. 27, at 3:30 p.m., to learn more about how small practices can have a big impact in your courses. Each Zoom session will last 15 minutes, with an opportunity to stay after for questions and discussion. We will approach all of these topics with the understanding that digital accessibility is an issue of equity and inclusion, and while these practices are essential for some of our students, they are useful for all of them.

Thursday’s topic: Alt Text – Learn about best practices in writing alt text, including understanding appropriate use of figurative images.
