This Week in the LEC

Many professionals have embraced Generative AI (GenAI) as part of their work, and employers increasingly expect new hires to have AI literacies. But how can educators prepare students for these workplaces while still ensuring that learning objectives are being met? Can writing processes incorporate GenAI ethically? This workshop will focus on exploring “human centered” workflows for writing with GenAI that maintain ethical standards while supporting student learning and literacy.

From enhancing healthcare simulations with AI-driven virtual reality to transforming data analytics education through AI-assisted coding and content creation, we will highlight the many ways AI is transforming higher education. With our panel of faculty from across disciplines, you will learn how AI is being used to develop realistic simulations, empower student creativity in digital media production, and support the development of project management deliverables.

Are you looking for a unique way to engage your students?  Why not try Canvas Credentials? Digital badges are more than just symbols—they are dynamic tools that can significantly increase student engagement by providing tangible recognition of their progress and accomplishments. By incorporating badging into your teaching strategy with Canvas Credentials, you will encourage students to take a more active role in their learning journey.  Let us show you how!

This hands-on workshop will invite faculty to engage with generative AI (genAI) tools to explore examples of how genAI can be used for student assessment. By engaging directly in activities using these tools, instructors will gain direct experience and be able to start imagining ways to invite genAI into their classrooms.
