Balancing Humanity and Technology: AI in the Classroom
In a world increasingly influenced by technology, the online EDUCAUSE teaching and Learning Symposium celebrates the essence of our shared humanity through the powerful mediums of collective learning and storytelling. Inspiring plenary sessions, collaborative design sessions, and playful networking will anchor us in our shared humanness while exploring the transformative potential - and accompanying risks - of AI in the higher education classroom. Join your teaching and learning colleagues to explore topics such as:
-
How can AI create capacity in the design and delivery of instruction and assessment?
-
What innovative assessment and teaching strategies leverage AI and lead to the advancement of critical and creative thinking skills?
-
How might AI be utilized to increase personalization while extending connection?
-
How might faculty development approaches need to shift in response to new generative AI tools?’
-
How can we meaningfully engage student voices in the development of AI strategy and guidelines?
-
How do we humanize the teaching and learning experience in an increasingly digitized and AI-enhanced teaching and learning environment?
-
What policies or guidelines are emerging related to generative AI in the classroom?
-
How do data and digital literacy play a role in the ethics of AI in the classroom?
-
What are the equity considerations in the use of AI in teaching and learning?
Event Experience
