Participants will explore real use cases for AI in education, including generating quiz questions, creating assignments, organizing lesson plans, and enhancing grading efficiency through creating rubrics for feedback. Attendees will gain insights into how AI can be used to improve the teaching and learning process, leaving the webinar with new ideas to enrich their own educational practices. Opportunities for discussion and reflection will help participants consider how to best implement AI in their unique contexts.
