ETS/CTE Symposium on GenAI in Higher Ed

The CTE’s Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on GenAI and ETS are collaborating to support a Symposium on GenAI in Higher Education on April 9-10, 2024, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the McLaren Complex 251.

The Symposium on GenAI in Higher Education provides an opportunity to discuss how GenAI can improve learning and teaching, and prepare students for a GenAI-driven world. The Symposium includes talks, panels, workshops, and presentations on topics like leveraging GenAI for classroom success, the ethical use of GenAI in education, enhancing learning outcomes using GenAI, and hearing from students on their experiences and expectations of GenAI on their learning and job readiness. The Symposium is aimed at understanding GenAI's benefits and challenges and sharing ideas on how to use GenAI to make education better for everyone.

Join us as we learn from each other, and help shape how GenAI will influence the future of education at USF.

Recorded presentations are available for viewing below.
