With today&#8217;s generative AI capable of producing work that surpasses that of the average college student, it&#8217;s crucial to rethink our classroom strategies to identify students&#8217; unique advantages over AI.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">By emphasizing course learning outcomes such as &#8220;Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills and Critical Thinking,&#8221; we can better prepare our students for a world where innovative ideas are invaluable. As we and our graduates enter this new era, the ability to think critically and solve problems creatively will be more important than ever.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1440,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In this webinar, Kianoosh will explore how we can empower educators with Generative AI. We&#8217;ll begin with an overview of how large language models (LLMs) work and trace their evolution from neural networks. Then, we&#8217;ll dive into several examples of how generative AI can act as a personal assistant for instructors. Additionally, we&#8217;ll discuss the importance of familiarizing our students with Generative AI to give them a competitive edge over graduates from other institutions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:1440,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REGISTER HERE Fri., Apr. 11, 1:00-2:00PM, online (Zoom) INSTRUCTIONS TO LOG INTO ZOOM: Login with the desktop\/mobile app: How to sign in to Zoom (via desktop\/mobile app) Sign in to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":566,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-682","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/566"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":689,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/682\/revisions\/689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/tlworkshops\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
