Bring Your Best Idea: Best Uses/Positive Ways to Use AI √ §

Given the rapid advancement and anticipated ubiquity of generative AI tools, it’s important that students learn to work with these tools, that is, to become “AI-literate.” Have you incorporated generative AI tools into your courses to help students learn the content or to become more AI-literate? Are there ways that you’d like to support your students as they explore these tools? The midterm seems like an appropriate time to reflect on how well our initial attempts to use AI with our students are going. Whether you’ve already embraced AI in your classroom or are curious about it but aren’t sure how to, come to this session to share with and learn from your UMBC colleagues.

For Bring Your Best Idea sessions, we (locally) crowdsource answers to questions such as these. Please bring your best ideas to this lively, collaborative, and fast-paced sharing session. Anyone who has an idea to share with the whole group will have two minutes to describe it. No slides please, though a link to a handout is welcome. After 20-30 minutes of sharing ideas, we’ll shift to Q&A and discussion. Whether or not you bring an idea to share, you’ll leave this session with new food for thought and several new ideas you might try in your own course.
