In this hands-on session, discover how AI can help you design in-class exercises, from crafting discussion prompts to creating interactive case studies. Learn practical techniques for using AI to generate creative activity variations, develop scaffolded learning experiences, and adapt materials into different modalities. You’ll leave with concrete examples and experience using AI to support creating your own classroom activities.

Please register here by Monday 2/24.

Next Tuesday, March 11, 2025, 4:30pm ET in Dana Auditorium and on Zoom*
 
We are excited to welcome author and educator John Warner to Middlebury this Tuesday, March 11, 2025 for a special presentation titled “Resist, Renew, Explore: How to Think About Human Writing and Learning in the Age of AI.” Now that we have easy access to technology that produces text with unmatched speed and fluency, we’re questioning the role writing plays in school, work, and society and how to maintain the integrity of writing in educational contexts.

The landscape of higher education is rapidly evolving, and AI is at the forefront of this transformation.

The CTLR, WRPR, and DLINQ cordially invite you to a vital lunch discussion on AI integration in education on 10/8 (12:15 lunch starts, 12:30 discussion begins). This gathering focuses on your experiences, questions, and concerns regarding AI in the classroom. We’ll also hear from colleagues about their exploratory and innovative applications of AI.

We aim to:

Join George Lee (‘88, P’20), co-head of the Goldman Sachs Global Institute and Middlebury Trustee, for an open and frank discussion about the capabilities, impact, trajectory, and risks attendant to Generative AI. Audience members can submit questions in advance or pose them live during the event. Possible topics include questions about the limitations of the current technical architecture, expected future developments, the geopolitical impact of the technology and, of course, the possible impact on higher education.

In this interactive workshop, discover how to use generative AI to boost your productivity. Learn five practical AI prompt patterns designed to streamline everyday tasks, from content creation to data organization. Whether you’re a student, faculty, or staff, this session will provide you with actionable options to save time and enhance efficiency in your daily routine. No prior AI experience required. This event will be hosted on Zoom; RSVP on the DLINQ site to receive a Zoom link.

Step into the world of unconventional AI in this fun and thought-provoking workshop. We’ll explore the quirky, unexpected, and creative ways AI language models can be used to go beyond everyday tasks. From generating surreal art concepts to crafting bizarre narratives, this session highlights the stranger tools and possibilities AI offers. Whether you’re curious about the weird side of AI or looking for fresh inspiration, you’ll leave with new ideas for applying AI. No technical background required.

This fall, we invite you to join in a reading and conversation series focused on student engagement. Each month, we’ll share just one article to prompt and provoke conversation. Through reading and discussion, we hope to make space for you to share your thoughts about student engagement, as well as explore the many facets of student engagement and its implications for teaching and learning. (You’re welcome to join us to talk about student engagement, even if you haven’t read the article!)
