We’ve all be hearing a lot about AI and how it will change everything. What is not clear is what that means to our day-to-day work. IT Services has invested in a 12-month structured series of professional development opportunities on topics like:
- Enrollment
- Retention
- Data Management and LMS development
- Personalized Learning
- Career Services
- Faculty Tools, Support, and Success
- Student Success
- Academic Dishonesty
- And More
Each month will focus on a different topic and will include four sessions, one per week, of learning and conversation with peers in higher education. Watch for invitations to sessions based on your area of expertise here at CSB and SJU, but you are encouraged to opt-in to participate in a focus area regardless of your current role.
September’s focus on AI applications and use cases is on Admissions and Enrollment. Each Thursday at 1:00 p.m. CST there will be a one-hour webinar to get you thinking about how you are already using AI, how you might start using AI, and what is on the horizon for AI in the admissions space. The month’s four sessions, one per week, will include:
Pre-Reads and Overviews
This includes optional support material for attendees to review as desired.
- AI Literacy Materials
This includes information about implications for AI and foundational preparation related to the topic. - AI Emerging Use Cases and Needs
This includes where AI is being used currently or in the future related to the topic. - Horizon Sessions
These sessions identify emerging partner solutions and provide guidance on how to organize, identify, and choose what supports your institution will need. - Next Steps Conversations
These discussions will center on how campuses are advancing AI work. - Hands-On and Eyes-On Work
Participants will be invited to use, watch, and demystify generative AI platforms
Please contact Miranda Novak if you haven’t received an invitation to this topic and would like to be included.
We in IT Services are excited to provide an opportunity for knowledge building focused on application and use cases of AI in areas of particular importance in higher education. Questions? Please contact Miranda Novak
