Join Commonwealth Campus Instructional Designers for an introductory demonstration and conversation around the generative AI tool, Microsoft Copilot. Register for one of the two sessions!
- Session 1: Thursday, April 18th (12:15-1:15, Zoom)
- Session 2:Â Friday, April 19th (12:15-1:15, Zoom)
Sessions contain the same content, just offered on different days! We’ll discuss…
- Information around Microsoft Copilot for faculty and students,
- Recommendations on designing for generative AI for classrooms,
- And an opportunity to chat with other instructors around teaching in consideration of these new technologies.
What’s Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot is an AI tool that can generate text and create images; it uses the same kinds of technology behind ChatGPT and DALL-E. When logged in with Penn State credentials, Copilot has Commercial Data Protection (meaning that data is not retained or used to train these models).
Why does this matter?
Penn State students now have institutional access to a generative AI tool with data protection. This ensures our students have reliable access to an important emerging technology, while also ensuring that data and information used in the context of teaching and learning is safe and protected.
How will this affect teaching and learning?
Oh gosh, lots of ways! And maybe not at all. (But probably somewhere in between.) To learn more, join us for one of two upcoming workshops about ways to incorporate and address the use of generative AI in your future classes.
