SUMMARY:Training Authentically Skilled Graduates in the Age of Generative AI (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:For colleges and universities\, the promise and peril of GenAI has given way to an evolving set of expectations\, practices and problems that individual instructors must daily confront. And while this new classroom reality is complex\, there are already instances of GenAI enhancing learning and teaching—especially where openness and a willingness to adapt are present.  \n\n\n\nThis webcast\, inspired by Inside Higher Ed’s recent special report of the same name\, explores GenAI’s potential to enhance learning\, as well as the very real risks it poses to the fundamental mission of higher education\, the production of authentically skilled and credible graduates.  \n\n\n\nThrough research\, expert insights and a series of institutional case studies\, we’ll dive deeper into what practitioners and leaders can do to support students and faculty using GenAI in service of higher education’s highest goal: promoting and certifying real learning.  \n\n\n\nThe webcast will cover the following: \n\n\n\n\nHow to balance academic innovation with integrity\, including implications for assessment \n\n\n\nBuilding institutional trust around generative AI \n\n\n\nFaculty- and institutional-level approaches to using generative AI for real learning \n\n\n\nWhat it means to be an authentically skilled graduate today—including how colleges can ensure students continue to develop durable\, human-centered skills\n\n\n\n\nCan’t attend the webcast? You should still register — all registrants\, including attendees and absentees\, will receive a recording of the webcast and a copy of the presentation slides.  \n\n\n\nRegister for this Event
