Keynote: Motivating & Focusing Students in the Age of AI

The excitement (and panic) surrounding A.I. is shattering expectations around assignments, assessment, class preparation, and attendance while challenging us to build more future-proof and inclusive classrooms. If there was ever a moment to improve the quality, equity, and impact of our teaching, that moment is now. Together, we will examine the skills and content that will matter most in this new age, the role and value of human thinking, and how we will discern ‘quality’ in our respective fields. Relentlessly focused on the tangible, attendees will also learn techniques to transform assignments and assessments to motivate and engage students by placing greater emphasis on the process and experience of learning.
