AI is reshaping the way we design courses, engage students, and support learning, especially when students are working on their own. In this one-week, hybrid-format workshop, educators and instructional designers will explore how AI and GenAI tools, including custom GPTs, can enhance content creation, increase student engagement, and support all forms of assessment. Participants will experiment with AI tools, reflect on ethical and pedagogical implications, and create their own AI-supported learning activities or course design resources to share with colleagues. Live sessions, hands-on tasks, and asynchronous options are all included.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

1.     Use AI tools to create, adapt, or recommend content that supports student learning, especially when students are working independently.

2.     Design effective and engaging learning activities or assessments using GenAI, including custom GPTs, to increase student engagement and provide timely support.

3.     Create or improve part of their course design or support toolkit with AI; something you can share with colleagues or put into practice right away.

Participants who complete all workshop activities and assignments receive one HyFlex Learning Community achievement badge: Design for Learning with AI. Workshop resources remain available for one year or more after the workshop.

Optional live workshop sessions meet online from 9:00 am - 10:30 am PT (12:00 pm - 1:30 pm ET) on Monday, August 18, Wednesday, August 20, and Friday, August 22. (Three live sessions). All workshop content and activities are also available fully asynchronously, enabling you to learn and participate "anytime, anywhere" for one or more sessions. You get to choose!
