Description:
Generative AI is rapidly changing education, but effective learning still depends on productive self-regulated learning (SRL). This workshop explores how faculty can leverage AI to strengthen—rather than replace—students' planning, monitoring, strategy use, and reflection. This session covers a four-phase model of self-regulated learning (SRL) and provides examples at each phase. We will explore how metacognitive strategies can be integrated into genAI use, and you will be provided with sample genAI prompts to encourage the use of SRL with students.

Please note this is not a technical workshop on how to create custom GPTs or AI tools.

Dates/Times: Thurs, Sept. 24, 12-12:45pm

Presenter: CPP Faculty from different disciplines

Description:
Join fellow faculty for an engaging showcase of how artificial intelligence is being used across their courses and disciplines.

This session will offer participants new ideas and adaptable approaches for thoughtfully incorporating AI into their own teaching.

Presenter: Erick Zelaya, Senior Multimedia Developer

Description:
Explore how custom GPTs can support teaching, learning, and productivity. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to design and create GPTs tailored to specific pedagogical goals, such as helping students practice course concepts, receive formative feedback, prepare for assessments, or navigate course resources.

Dates/Times: Thurs, Oct. 22, 12-12:45pm

Presenter: Yajaira Garcia, Instructional Designer

Description:
Explore practical strategies for designing assignments that promote authentic student learning and encourage them to �������� course concepts rather than relying on generative AI. Faculty will learn approaches that better capture students' thinking, reflection, and learning processes.

Dates/Times: Tues, Nov. 19, 12-12:45pm

Presenter: Marisela Chávez, Executive Director

Description:
Develop a generative AI policy that aligns with your course goals, teaching approach, and students’ learning needs. In this workshop, faculty will explore how to clearly communicate when, why, and how AI may be used in their courses, while leaving room for thoughtful flexibility. Participants will consider ways to explain the purpose behind their guidelines so students can make informed, responsible choices and engage with AI in ways that support meaningful learning.

Getting classes ready
