ITS Teaching & Learning offers a workshop series to integrate Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into academic practices in response to the evolving education technology landscape. The series aims to equip our academic community with the requisite skills for leveraging GenAI in teaching and learning, as well as professional and personal productivity.
New! Generative AI 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.
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.
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.
