We have structured our 2024 experiences so that everything builds from our foundational session, AI Fundamentals for Teaching & Learning. We then created two series: Skills and Tools in the Age of AI and AI Societal Impacts. Within each series there are three levels of learning - launchpad, growth, and mastery. We then add additional sessions including AI Teaching Materials. We strongly recommend that you attend the Fundamentals of AI in Teaching & Learning first to set yourself up for success on your journey. Click here for more information and to register.
