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.
The course will take place between March 4-29.
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.
Participants build upon each other’s work when we write together, brainstorm, find solutions for each other, draft from the innovations of our community, and rely on each other. So, participation in this course is really important.
Here are the main components of the course:
Participants who complete the certificate program will:
Each Tuesday at noon Eastern, a guest speaker who has expertise within a specific area of AI will share their thoughts and ideas in 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 week we’ll have a live synchronous community conversation via Zoom. These sessions will be driven by your questions, so please come with your thoughts, ideas, observations, and concerns from 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.
You can choose to attend between two times each week: Wednesdays at 6 pm or Fridays at 12 pm Eastern time.
