Pedagogy Matters 1 – Using Artificial Intelligence to Increase Authentic Student Engagement
When: Monday, March 3, 2025 | 3:00-4:00
Where: Online via Teams
Registration: Required to get a link
AI isn’t just a way for students to generate soulless discussion posts or get out of doing genuine research and writing. It can also be used to deepen learning and actually make students want to engage. This interactive workshop will explore how professors are using AI to think outside the pedagogical box, gamify learning, and help students think more critically (yes, really). Through a lively mix of “show and tell,” we’ll look at real-world examples of AI boosting—not replacing—human connection in the classroom. Whether you’re AI-curious or AI-skeptical, you’ll leave with practical, ethical, and surprisingly fun ways to make AI work for you (and your students).
