Using AI for Teaching and Learning

Are you curious about AI but unsure how to use it for meaningful academic work? Whether you’ve never used AI, or have already begun integrating it into your teaching practice, join us for a session exploring the ways you might effectively use an AI platform called Notebook LM (one of our PSU-supported AI tools) throughout the teaching and learning process.

We’ll unpack the benefits of generative AI for instructors while creating content, designing effective courses, and supporting students. The session will include time for experimenting with Notebook LM and discussing specific applications for your courses.

The Office of Academic Innovation is committed to making our events accessible to all Portland State University faculty and staff. If you require an accommodation or service to participate, please contact us at b2FpIHwgcGR4ICEgZWR1 at least 7 days prior to the event.

If you need assistance getting into our event or have any questions, please contact the Office of Academic Innovation front desk at b2FpIHwgcGR4ICEgZWR1.
