ALL sessions will be recorded, except the Zoomside Chats.
Slides and video recordings will be made available after the workshops.
We invite our FRN community members to join us for a series of special programming: three virtual workshops and a “Zoomside Chat” around ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
The workshops will provide hands-on experience, recommended practices, and interactive discussions about generative AI and its use in and out of the classroom by having attendees converse with instructional technologists, educational designers, and other faculty members. The Zoomside Chats will allow faculty and staff to share experiences, ask questions, and exchange ideas about the challenges and advantages of using generative AI tools.
The sessions are tailored specifically for faculty and staff (instructional designers and educational technologists) who are creating assignments and assessments and/or crafting syllabi language around generative AI.
Each workshop and “Zoomside Chat” will be conducted twice, once on Thursday, September 28, 2023, 12:00–4:00pm ET and once on Friday, September 29, 2023, 8:00am–12:00pm ET via Zoom. You can attend one or all of the sessions on one or both days.
Please register to receive the Zoom links before the workshops and Zoomside chats begin. In the meantime, save the dates to your calendar!
