2023-2024 Holidays and Fact Sheet I admit - when I saw this link shared in standard messaging, I ignored the detail that each holiday listed has a one page "fact sheet" that explains what the community in question is observing. What a great source of information!

Event: Getting Started with AI Literacy |
Wednesday October 4 10:00-11:30
With a rapidly changing news cycle surrounding generative AI tools it is crucial for educators to stay informed. Locally, U-M has brought these tools in house with the various U-M GPT offerings. Autumm Caines, one of our instructional designers in the Hub, has been following these technologies for a few years now and brings us an introductory workshop covering the essentials including: AI vocabulary, defining the technology, practical use cases, prompt engineering basics, and an overview of several of the large scale concerns about this technology's impacts. Autumm has delivered this workshop at other institutions and conferences but this iteration will include a new section explaining and highlighting the U-M offerings.
