152 AI in Education: Exploring Its Capabilities, Usage, and Future
Computers, Science, Tech | Registration opens 4/15/25 9:00 AM EDT
Whether instructors choose to embrace it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging and ongoing force in education. Over the course of three classes, we will demonstrate how AI tools work, how educators are embracing them (or not), and how AI’s existence will affect the future of higher education. Additionally, we will draw upon our professional experience by revealing some of the strategies students have attempted, as well as how we have handled unethical violations in the classroom.
