Curriculum
Artificial intelligence, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, presents significant technological challenges to education; but with significant challenge comes significant opportunity.
A recent Course Hero survey of 1,000 higher education faculty shows that faculty still see more unknowns than knowns with regard to the role of generative AI in higher education. And when it comes to responding to the challenge of AI, educators are often on their own, with little guidance, and even less training.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to come by professional learning that can provide educators with the critical tools and skills to address technological challenges. Course Hero’s AI Academy will provide community-driven, inquiry-based professional learning for educators to help them respond creatively, critically, constructively, and ethically to the opportunities AI offers.
This is a highly collaborative and community-based course, so please join in as much as you are able throughout the week: write posts, read posts, upload new resources, send videos and audio, link to useful sites online, and more.
We build upon each other’s work, we write together, we brainstorm, we find solutions for each other, we draft off of the innovations of our community, and we rely on others to do some of the heavy lifting when we are unable. So, participation in this course is really important.
When we show up for others, they are better able to do their work, and vice versa. That said, this course is your learning experience, and you should participate here as best suits your goals for that experience.
Participants who complete the certificate program will:
Each Wednesday at 12 pm Eastern, a guest speaker who has expertise within a specific area of AI will share their thoughts and ideas within a live, synchronous Zoom presentation. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing.
Each week will follow a similar structure, where participants can learn on their own time and engage with the community in our learning platform.
A detailed syllabus will be provided for all participants upon registration.
Each Friday at 12 pm Eastern, we’ll have a live synchronous community conversation via Zoom. These sessions will be audience-generated discussions, during which we’ll work through whatever has come up for us during the week.
These gatherings are not required for completion of the course, but will provide an opportunity for us to learn together in the moment, to meet one another, and to raise important questions.
