Next Generation Learning with Generative AI Tools Certificate

As we enter a new era of technological advancement, generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools will play an increasingly important role in shaping our professional work, classroom learning experiences, and personal lives. These tools have the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn, by providing new ways to engage students, personalize instruction, and create adaptive learning experiences.

This certificate program will equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to use generative AI tools effectively in your teaching practice. You will learn how to select and use the right tools for your needs, how to integrate them into your teaching, and how to assess their impact on student learning. You will also have the opportunity to network with other educators who are using AI in their classrooms, and to share your own experiences and insights.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Professional Certificate, participants will be able to:

• Identify and evaluate the potential of generative AI tools to enhance teaching and learning experiences in their respective fields.
• Critically assess ethical and social considerations related to the use of generative AI tools in education.
• Develop pedagogical strategies for integrating generative AI tools into their teaching practice, including designing assignments and assessments.
• Collaborate with colleagues to integrate generative AI tools into institutional initiatives and programs.

Each workshop will use Zoom and Canvas. You will need to have a computer with an internet connection and a web browser. You will also need to be familiar with basic computer skills.
