Generative Artificial Intelligence has arrived, and all predictions point to a near future in which it is integrated into most careers. Consequently, in higher education we need to understand how to use it, how our students use it, and how it will be used in each of our disciplines moving forward. This workshop will offer practical skills to infuse AI into your teaching and practice and empower you to redefine educational experiences for both you and your students.
