Recorded Webinar on Generative AI and Teaching at MSU:
Event: An Introduction to Teaching and Generative AI
Facilitators: Stephen Thomas, Jeremy Van hof, and Jake Kasper

https://mediaspace.msu.edu/media/Introduction+to+teaching+with+generative+AI/1_7sww2tmu link

Part 1
The first hour will be focused on general concepts and implications of generative AI (genAI) to your current course. This workshop will introduce you to the concept of genAI and Large Language Models (LLM). We will look at what can be done with them, how students might use them, and how you might think about them in your classroom. You will be given a chance to reflect and discuss how these tools might interact with your assignment prompts and how you might think about your assessment structure.

Part 2
The second hour will be more open for exploration of tools and specific examples of curriculum. Examples will be given for incorporating genAI into disciplinary objectives and what additional genAI skills might be added to course goals. As part of this discussion, we can examine three genAI tools: ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Khanmigo.

Good Mid-December Morning! Just came across a couple of interesting pieces about AI and how it will, can, and does already impact (higher) education. (In my best Rod Serling voice) For your hopefully copious downtime during Winter Break, I submit:
