Format: All Commonwealth Campuses

Explore the innovative use of generative AI (genAI) in higher education with presentations from a biologist and a mathematician. Learn how genAI is transforming assignments in “What it Means to be Human” (BIOL/PSYCH 169N) by fostering critical thinking through AI-driven debates, including problem solving and trouble shooting. Discover its role in enhancing pedagogical skills and lesson planning in Math 200 classroom activity. Attendees will gain insights into integrating genAI into their teaching practices, understand its impact on student engagement and learning outcomes, and leave with practical strategies for embracing this technology in their own classrooms.
