Enhancing Inclusive Teaching with AI:
Getting a Jumpstart on Creating a Positive Learning Environment
At Georgia Tech, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of emerging technologies. Many of your colleagues have already integrated this technology into their course frameworks, achieving significant strides toward their teaching and learning goals. While it's impressive to harness AI for improved course delivery, we believe one area not getting enough attention is the transformative potential of generative AI in sculpting a learning environment that is truly inclusive and actively promotes student wellbeing. Generative AI’s ability to foster a more personalized, diverse, and responsive classroom environment not only enhances the learning experience but also benefits the mental and emotional wellbeing of every student.
If you’ve been thinking about how AI might be used to achieve a more inclusive and positive learning environment, then this workshop is for you!
Join us on October 10th from Noon-2pm for the next revolutionary workshop in our Teaching and Learning in an Age of AI workshop series:
