Second Life. Wikis. Blogs. Flip video cameras. Interactive DVD courseware.


If you've been around higher ed for the last 10 or 15 years, those are just a few of the educational technology tools that you've seen spike in popularity, then fall into niche usage or go away entirely.  Will AI be the next "revolutionary" technology to have a few shining moments of glory before fading into ed tech history? Those of us who aren't huge fans of AI might hope so . . . but we'd be disappointed.  


In this interactive session, the presenter, a veteran instructional technology advocate and somewhat reluctant AI user, will lead a discussion on why AI is here to stay, and why even non-enthusiasts should carefully consider how it may fit into their teaching and learning processes. Participants will receive worksheets and tools to assist with working through that determination and for communicating AI guidelines to students. You probably won't leave with a new love for AI, but our students don't need AI evangelism. They do need guidance, and it is our responsibility to provide it.
