SUMMARY:Leveraging Design Thinking for Educational Innovation in the Age of Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception, generative AI has been poised to leave a lasting mark on teaching and learning in higher education. No matter your level of experience or current perspective regarding this technology, its recent surge in popularity offers an opportunity to re-evaluate current educational approaches and explore innovative ways to leverage these tools. This two-session online workshop aims to support UIC faculty and staff in utilizing generative AI tools to update educational practices. Participants will leverage design thinking strategies, shared expertise, and technological creativity to develop AI-focused learning activities, instructional strategies, or assessments that foster student engagement and learning.   Participants will attend two 90-minute remote sessions. During the first session, they will engage in design thinking exercises and idea generation. Between sessions, they will draft ideas for learning activities, instructional strategies, or assessments that incorporate generative AI. Finally, in the second session, participants will present their ideas, provide constructive feedback to one another, and discuss implementation plans.   Participants with any level of AI-experience are welcome. All that is required is an interest in exploring how generative AI can impact teaching and learning in higher education.  In this online workshop, you will:       	Reflect on ways generative AI impacts your course, your students, and your discipline.    	Use design thinking strategies to develop actionable AI-focused learning activities, instructional strategies, or assessments that support engagement and learning.   | Event post: https://idmps.uic.edu/events?page_id=416
