Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
The purpose of the Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education courses is to address the emergence and role of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. The purpose of these courses is to help staff and faculty learn about how AI impacts teaching, learning, enrollment, retention, and student success. The courses should also help the participants learn the competencies (knowledge and skills) needed to take AI into account in their roles as instructors, administrators, or staff members.
There are 2 online asynchronous courses. The courses are 6 weeks in length each, and they contain approximately 3 to 5 hours of work each week. The courses are interactive with instructor feedback to participants and capped at 20 registrants.
Courses may be taken individually or in tandem. The recommended order is Course 1 followed by Course 2, however, these courses are designed to stand alone. A digital badge will be awarded for the completion of each course.
