Fridays 9-10 am *Note: time will change to 10-11am after Nov 2 | AI and Teaching and Learning Open Discussion Join colleagues from across disciplines for informal weekly conversations about the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in higher education, where we discuss breaking news, share experiences, and collectively problem-solve challenges in real-time. Each drop-in session features a brief spotlight on the week’s most significant AI developments in education, followed by open discussion where faculty can bring questions, share successes and failures with AI tools, debate emerging ethical concerns, and crowdsource solutions to classroom challenges. This ongoing dialogue creates a supportive community of practice where educators at all levels of AI expertise can stay current with technological changes while learning from peers’ experiences across different institutional contexts and academic disciplines.
