NWeLearn 2024

Join us for an interactive workshop designed for higher education faculty to explore how generative AI can enhance adult education. Incorporating AI can make visible to students the often-hidden curriculum and help them understand both the content and purpose of their studies. Live demonstrations will showcase techniques to create a supportive and engaging learning environment with AI.
Part of the workshop will explore the flipped classroom model, emphasizing its benefits and practical integration with AI tools. By using AI-generated conversations, educators can help students focus on acquiring knowledge via pre-work assignments and assessments asynchronously. This process preserves classroom time for engagement and collaboration where students can apply knowledge and skills gained throughout the course.
This workshop will also focus on integrating generative AI as a novel tool to engage in dialogue with learners to develop learning experiences involving metacognition. Faculty will learn how to use AI to develop strong reflection prompts as well as ways to assist students with discovering meaningful observations through their reflections. It will demonstrate how students can use AI as a conversation tool that provides them with immediate feedback on their learning process, which can help them self-identify both their challenges and successes.
By incorporating AI as a discussion partner in our classes, we will explore how this approach provides a resource learners can use to gain more insight about their learning process and identify gaps in knowledge as well as how it can assist in promoting deliberative practice and lifelong learning.
