AI as your TA: Using Artificial Intelligence to Transform your Teaching
Access innovative strategies for strengthening student engagement and learning in introductory psychology and abnormal psychology courses by harnessing AI for course design and content creation.
Dr. Danae L. Hudson, Professor, Missouri State University
Dr. Brooke L. Whisenhunt, Professor, Missouri State University
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) presents a unique opportunity to enhance teaching and learning experiences in psychology courses. Currently, concerns about how students may misuse AI dominate academic spaces. This webinar will move past this discussion and explore innovative strategies for integrating AI to improve student engagement and learning. Using examples from Introductory Psychology and Psychological Disorders (i.e., Abnormal Psychology) we will demonstrate how AI can be used in course design, content creation (e.g., case studies), and to improve student engagement.
