ANNOUNCING: The "Teaching and Learning with AI" Summit from the Learning Revolution

OVERVIEW:

Our first Learning Revolution summit on AI: "Teaching and Learning with AI," will be held online (and for free) on Thursday, June 27th, 2024, from 12:00 - 2:30 pm US-Pacific Time. 

What effects do generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, tools, and applications have on learning and teaching? What impacts will they have on our educational abilities and activities, collaboration and communication, literacy, student agency, and independent, informal, and lifelong learning? The Teaching and Learning with AI summit will consider these questions and more.

While AI technologies have many dramatic benefits, there are also challenges and concerns expressed by professionals, students, and educators about the impact of these new technologies on teaching and learning and the information ecosystem as a whole. Some are reasonably concerned about protecting privacy and confidentiality of students while using generative AI tools and ensuring equity and accessibility. Others worry about ethics, plagiarism, bias, misinformation, transparency, and the loss of critical thinking. And all in the learning professions are wondering how AI might allow or require changes in pedagogy and curricula.

Join us for this free virtual conference to learn how students, educators, and teachers of all types are utilizing generative artificial intelligence tools. Conversations and presentations in the conference will address the practical implications of these tools in the profession, and information on the call for non-commercial, practitioner-based proposals is below. 

Our special conference chair is Reed C. Hepler, Digital Initiatives Librarian and Archivist, College of Southern Idaho. 

This is a free event, being held live online and also recorded.
