AI in Education Consulting

"Professor Sidorkin ran a workshop on our campus on how to use AI as an instructional tool. We found his approaches to using large language models to create course chat bots and grading bots to provide feedback on assessments to be very innovative. We were also pleased with how the workshop was structured in a hands-on manner, and many of the participants left with working prototypes of instructional tools." Jack Eichler, Professor of Chemistry and the Academy of Distinguished Teaching Member (University of California Riverside)
