This fall, the Learning and Educational Center (LEC) has hosted a series of fireside chats focused on generative AI for teaching and learning. Each session begins with an introduction to the guiding question followed by an open discussion of related issues, questions, and ideas. We conclude each session with a review of important considerations and a list of resources. There is only one more session remaining for the semester on December 1st 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. via Zoom. This has been an opportunity to learn and share with colleagues and think about how we might integrate generative AI into our own teaching and research.
