Exploring AI in Teaching: Cultivating Transparency
Center for Teaching, Learning & Mentoring
Event Details
Transparency is a powerful tool for engaging and motivating students. Marc Watkins, Ph.D., an educator and researcher from the University of Mississippi who specializes in the intersection of education and AI, will guide us in exploring what “transparency” means in an AI-enabled learning environment – from clearly communicating expectations for AI use, to designing assignments that make thinking visible, to fostering trust through honest conversations about when (and why) AI may or may not be appropriate. You will leave with practical language, examples, and strategies you can adapt for your courses.
