Attitudes, Agency, and Action: Understanding the Impact of Our Personal Conceptualizations of AI on How We Approach it in Our Work
September 10
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm (EST)
Zoom
In this engaging session, Dr. Chris Kilgore from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will facilitate and guide participants in an exploration of our thinking about what Generative AI is, what roles we think it might play in our work, and how we seek to prepare students to use it in the teaching and learning enterprise. This is the first session in our learning community series that brings faculty from across the UT system to share their experiences with AI in their academic work. Participants will have an opportunity to listen to different strategies, practices, and information about AI and reflect on how they might use what they learned to positively impact teaching and learning in their context.
