With new artificial intelligence (AI) tools, assistants, chatbots, and system integrations launching every day, it can be challenging to figure out where to start. What AI tools can a portfolio practitioner try out or create themselves easily? Where can a learning designer find inspiration? How do you set up a chatbot within the promised 5 minutes? Should you give any of this a go yourself?

Join us for a practical online workshop led by Dr. Megan Mize (Old Dominion University), where she will share her firsthand experiences of experimenting with AI technology in her classes in recent months. Megan will present tools that she’s used, including ones she has personally created without any programming knowledge. During this hands-on session, you’ll interact with one of these tools and even set up your own chatbot!

Together, we will explore the intersection of AI and portfolio-based education, uncovering new possibilities, and navigating the ethical considerations of AI in teaching and learning.

AAEEBL is pleased to offer this webinar in partnship with ePortfolios Australia and Eportfolio Ireland.
