AI-Enabled Teaching Excellence Workshops
The Summer 2025 AI-Enabled Teaching Excellence Workshop Series offers a weekly, hands-on opportunity to explore practical ways to integrate AI into your teaching. Designed for flexibility, these sessions focus on time-saving strategies, responsible AI use, and real classroom applications for WSB faculty and instructors. Join us to equip yourself and your students with essential AI proficiency for the evolving workplace.
Summer 2025 Webinar Schedule
Join the AI-Enabled Teaching Excellence workshops to start integrating AI into your teaching. At each session you’ll:
- Apply time-saving AI strategies immediately in your teaching preparation.
- Discover new ways to deepen student learning through AI-supported methods.
- Approach AI use with a clearer understanding of ethical considerations and best practices.
Explore our currently scheduled webinar topics. Click on each session title below for full details and the direct Teams meeting link. Session summaries and resources will be posted below about 1 week later. (*topics are subject to change*)
Walk through key ways AI can support your teaching by saving time, boosting creativity, and enhancing student engagement. Leave with your own quick-start toolkit, including recommended tools, ethical tips, and prompt templates.
AI can cut your prep time. Use AI tools to create lesson outlines, slides, and activities in this hands-on session. Access a customizable workflow and prompt library to reuse all semester.
Build better assessments faster. Co-create assessments and assignments with AI that challenge students while upholding academic integrity. Includes rubric starters, prompt examples, and an integrity checklist.
Elevate your feedback practices and explore how generative AI can enhance the feedback process. Discover strategies for producing insightful and personalized feedback, leveraging AI to apply rubrics consistently, and streamlining aspects of grading. We’ll also touch on how AI can help manage feedback in larger courses, all while helping you maintain your unique instructional voice. Leave with practical tools and prompts to elevate your feedback practices.
Clarify and uphold ethical AI use in your classroom. Discuss how to talk with students about AI, revise syllabus language, and establish clear, inclusive guidelines that support trust.
Explore how to recognize AI-generated content and design classroom activities that promote ethical, transparent AI use. Through live demos, interactive comparisons, and customizable scenarios, you’ll learn how to distinguish between student work and machine assistance—and to respond proactively. Leave with adaptable classroom activities, practical policy tools, and greater clarity on how to guide students in responsible AI engagement.
Enhance your research or student inquiry with AI tools. Summarize articles, prepare literature reviews, and verify source credibility through hands-on practice.
Design course visuals faster and more creatively. Generate compelling images, videos, and graphics with AI. Apply prompt examples, accessibility tips, and design strategies.
We will not be holding a session this week.
Apply previous learning to the development of scenarios (or “mini-cases”). Amplify the realism of these customized scenarios using generative AI. Leverage Canvas tools to build the student experience around the scenarios. [Link to Join Teams]
Rethink your assessment strategy to reduce AI misuse while promoting deeper learning. Explore how to create meaningful, skill-based assessments that prioritize process, reflection, and student voice. Learn practical frameworks and examples that work in large courses. [Link to Join Teams]
Got questions? Tech hiccups? Weird prompt outcomes? Join us for hands-on help, final resource sharing, and open Q&A. Great time to troubleshoot or share a win before the semester kicks off. [Link to Join Teams]
