AI Literacy & Backward Design for Teaching in the Humanities

Explore the basics of generative AI and using backwards design to explore how AI might support your teaching and student learning.

AI is rapidly changing, but what do instructors really need to know? There’s a lot of pressure to incorporate AI into classwork, but is that right for your course?? If yes, where and how? If you have these questions, join us for an interactive workshop! Explore the basics of generative AI and using backwards design to consider whether, where, and how AI might support your teaching and student learning, with a special focus on the humanities.

What We’ll Explore
