Dear Colleague,

How can we meaningfully integrate AI into our teaching, beyond the concerns about cheating or the excitement of new tools? In this online workshop, three scholars will share concrete ways they use AI to enrich university-level teaching. They will discuss approaches such as using LLMs to build interactive learning environments, supporting personalized learning through tailored feedback and accessibility tools, and designing assignments that remain rigorous and engaging without fully banning AI. Please join us to explore thoughtful and hands-on ways of incorporating AI into your teaching practice!

Sincerely,

Dr. Yi Ren
