AI @ WMU
Helping Students Use AI Productively
Date: Friday, November 21 Time: 12 p.m. Location: Virtual
AI tools are changing how students approach coursework. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore ways students might use AI, talk about guiding them toward productive and ethical use of AI, and share strategies for communicating AI policy that supports learning. No prior experience needed: we will start by trying out AI tools together so everyone leaves feeling ready to experiment. This event will be facilitated by Sayantan Basu, Melinda Koelling (Mathematics), and Dave Paul (Philosophy).
