As you plan your summer activities, LLCC Academic Innovation and eLearning invites you to participate in the Online AI Summer Camp designed for LLCC faculty and staff. The Online AI Summer Camp is a self-paced, asynchronous opportunity to enhance your AI skills and knowledge over the summer break.
Whether you’re new to AI, a seasoned AI explorer or just looking to learn “s’more” about AI this summer, this summer camp is for you. Your virtual camp counselors, John Freml and Becky Parton, have curated a collection of resources including webinars, readings and other material designed to support your professional growth and exploration in AI.
The AI Summer Camp will guide you through the emerging trends, best practices and ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in learning environments. Designed for self-paced discovery, this collection includes short tutorials and programing from familiar providers such as Monday Morning Mentor and NISOD, as well as a collection of interviews and webinars featuring leading voices in the field of education and artificial intelligence. You will also find articles and whitepapers that explore the crossroads of AI and pedagogy.

The course also offers opportunities to learn from and with your LLCC colleagues and will be guided by your virtual camp counselors. Those who complete the course will receive their Auburn University AI Explorer Badge.
