Led by Prof. Ken McKay on Microsoft Teams
This two-hour workshop introduces generative AI as a practical tool for designing courses around essential themes, learning outcomes, competency levels, and assessments. Participants will practice with their own course materials and leave with a competency-focused course design roadmap, starter prompts for each stage of course and assessment development, draft themes and outcomes, including a first draft of an assessment item or a review of an existing assessment. Participants will be invited to join the AI and Teaching Practice channel for access to additional resources.
Activities: Two hands-on exercises of approximately 25 minutes each, followed by breakout discussion. All prompts and examples provided as Word documents.
What to bring:
-
Access to an AI tool (for example, Copilot).
-
Your course outline, with its learning outcomes.
-
The topic of one upcoming lecture.
-
One existing assessment with its marking scheme: an assignment, a midterm or a final.
