Using Generative AI in Online Courses: Interviewing History
Event Details
You are invited to join SOCHE for a virtual training entitled “Using Generative AI in Online Courses: Interviewing History,” on Monday, Nov. 17, beginning at 12 p.m. ET. The session will be presented by Dr. Mary Myers, director of the Doctor of Strategic Communication program at Regent University.
Using artificial intelligence (AI) may seem daunting to many people. This presentation uses an entertainment/education-based approach to motivate audience engagement with generative AI applications. Actual interaction with historical figures through an exercise using text and generative AI illustrates both the strengths and weaknesses of current AI technology. This activity also prompts discussion about generative AI use now and in the future.
