In this dynamic, hands-on webinar, you’ll learn how to use gen AI to design interactive, tailored learning experiences that keep students engaged and help them master your course concepts. With the right prompts, you can create materials that fit your teaching style, meet your learning objectives, and transform your students’ classroom experience.
 

Join Professor Michael Roberto as he shares practical, proven strategies for harnessing AI to develop high-impact teaching materials you can start using right away.
 

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

• Identify opportunities to integrate powerful experiential exercises into your courses
• Use gen AI to create activities that directly support your learning goals
• Ensure your materials reinforce the key concepts and frameworks you’re teaching
• Build prompt sequences that let you quickly customize content for your needs
