The emergence of powerful generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is having a significant and disruptive impact on higher education today. Almost immediately after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, students began leveraging it to help with a variety of course-related tasks, often including the completion of writing and other types of assignments. At the same time, nearly all business sectors now anticipate using generative AI in the workplace, and many are already reporting challenges filling roles that now require AI skills.

While the initial inclination may have been to limit AI’s influence in the classroom, higher education now has the companion challenge of preparing students for a world where working with AI is increasingly likely to be a job expectation and a sought-after competency. How can we ensure that our students achieve the learning outcomes we have designed for our courses while also preparing them for a world where collaborating with AI is increasingly expected? Responding to this question is the key purpose of this workshop series.

Led by authors José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson, based on the soon-to-be published second edition of their book Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2025).

This four-part, live workshop series will transform how you teach in the age of AI. You'll learn to

  • understand the current AI landscape and what it means for your classroom;
  • address academic integrity in meaningful and fair-minded ways;
  • craft assignments that develop both course outcomes and AI literacies;
  • use AI to assist with course design, development, and management; and
  • leverage advanced AI features, including custom bots and simulations.

Series Schedule: All workshops will be held from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. ET

  • AI for Research, Work, and Thinking

  • AI for Teaching and Learning

  • Ethics, Cheating, Policy, & Writing

  • Creativity, New Assignments, & Custom Bots

These workshops will take place live and include current-to-the-moment information regarding generative AI and its possibilities for higher education. Participants will also receive guidance on applying AI within their learning contexts between workshop sessions. Sharing, interaction, and exploration will be the hallmarks of this hands-on workshop series.
