Explore the basics of AI and learn strategies and practical applications of AI tools for Educators

This white paper covers the following areas: what Generative AI is and how it works, how it can enhance online teaching and learning, common considerations and concerns when integrating AI into education, ways AI tools can support engagement, personalization, and efficiency, and key recommendations, strategies, and tools for responsible and effective use.

Since OpenAI introduced the world to ChatGPT, every industry has examined the practical uses for this exciting new tool. In an era where technology is reshaping the way we teach and learn, this beginner workshop will discuss the challenges and benefits of using generative AI in education while providing guided practice using the tool.

To equip teachers with the knowledge and confidence to effectively integrate AI tools into their classrooms. Demystify artificial intelligence and its potential in education. Introduce a variety of AI tools suitable for both learners and teachers. Explore global perspectives on AI in education, including addressing biases and sharing best practices. Develop skills for effectively prompting AI and understanding the limitations of AI-generated content. Discuss ethical considerations and strategies for learners' responsible AI use. Foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among educators using AI in their classrooms.

Educators hold diverse opinions about incorporating generative AI (GenAI) into their courses, ranging from outright bans to full acceptance. As GenAI becomes increasingly accessible and prevalent, perspectives on its use will evolve. This session will explore a range of GenAI policies, emphasizing the importance of clearly informing students about the course's approach, stating potential consequences of misuse, providing guidelines for acknowledging and citing AI, and strategies for addressing suspected misuse. Discussants will present different views and perspectives on this topic.

The World Economic Forum projects that by 2030, a staggering one billion professionals will require reskilling. The advent of generative AI has ushered in the fourth industrial revolution, presenting a golden opportunity for reskilling outfits to ride the wave of this transformation. This session will demonstrate how generative AI can enhance the quality of upskilling courses, boost student engagement, and optimize enrollment. 

Nearly 2 years after the release of ChatGPT, it's no longer news that our past safeguards against cheating are out of date. New technologies have popped up that promise "AI detection," alongside the somewhat older tools of plagiarism detection and remote proctoring for exams. But how dependable are these tools, and is increased surveillance really our best bet? Join this session to discuss what we actually mean by academic integrity, what motivates students to “cheat,” and how we can limit digital surveillance tactics to keep student learning as our north star.
