Upper Peninsula Teaching & Learning Conference - 2026

Designed for those who are interested in employing artificial intelligence (AI) within the context of their curriculum and/or courses, this hands-on workshop will begin by providing participants with a guided, hands-on exploration of key generative AI tools being used today. After exploring this landscape, the workshop will shift to specific applications of AI within teaching and learning settings. A key theme will be how faculty can ensure their students achieve the learning outcomes of their courses while also engendering AI competencies and literacies that are increasingly in demand in the world of work. Assignment design, feedback, and grading will be key topics. A hallmark of this session will be opportunities for attendees to explore AI within the specific context of their own courses.
