New GenAI Mini-Workshop Series!
ITS is thrilled to announce the launch of a GenAI Mini-Workshop Series designed to offer a rich, engaging experience in just 45 minutes per session. With an expanded range of topics, these ten workshops are tailored to meet the varied interests and needs of instructors, staff, and students. Learn more about the workshop topics and levels.
Most workshop content is similar to the previous full-length GenAI workshops, but topics have been condensed and redesigned to cater to different audiences. To view workshop descriptions of the entire series, visit the Generative AI Mini-Workshop Series Overview Document.
Workshop topics 1-9 will be offered twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 pm, allowing participants the flexibility to complete the entire series over nine weeks with their choice of one 45-minute workshop per week. Topics 1-9 will be offered between February 25 - April 24. Topic 10 (Customize the U-M Student Experience with MiMaizey and the GoBlue App) is the only topic that is entirely new and will be offered weekly on various dates.
Participants can earn new GenAI badges for participating in the series. Badges allow participants to indicate their GenAI proficiency and can be showcased on platforms such as LinkedIn.
