For the first time, our Fall Virtual Event will feature an interactive workshop on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The event is free for members and $50 for non-members (includes annual membership)!
Artificial Intelligence can make your work better and easier if (1) you understand which tasks need you and which can be done by AI and (2) you understand enough about how AI works to get it to do the work you want it to do. This practical session will focus first on AI literacy and prompting: AI is not like other technological tools. An AI is not like a human but treating it like an extremely naïve intern will dramatically improve your results. Small changes in your prompts can have large results. We will also focus on specific grading, assessment and accreditation tasks, like getting an AI to summarize student narratives about their learning or assessing thousands of assignments against a rubric.
