Advanced Techniques for Generative AI in Instruction
Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm, with lunch afterward.
"This advanced workshop builds upon foundational concepts of generative AI to provide educators with sophisticated techniques for enhancing both teaching and learning. Participants will master advanced prompt engineering strategies for creating high-quality educational content, develop skills to generate and adapt Open Educational Resources (OER), design interactive learning elements, and create innovative assignments that teach students to use AI effectively and ethically. By attending, you'll gain practical skills to create more engaging materials, reduce costs through OER development, design interactive learning experiences, and prepare students for appropriate AI use in their academic and professional lives".
