Ready to Explore What AI Means for You as Part of the ND Family? |
|
|
AI for the Notre Dame Community is a new on-demand, non-credit course for students aimed at helping you navigate tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Dall-E responsibly and effectively. The time commitment is roughly equivalent to a one-credit course that can be taken at your own pace.
|
| |
|
This course was developed at Notre Dame and is delivered via Canvas. Undergraduates who complete the course can add it to their Comprehensive Learner Record to share with future employers.

| Google Slides:
Finally, the "nudge" tool really just nudges! Now, when using the arrow keys to “nudge” an object, it will only move by 1 pixel. If you want to move the object a larger distance, use “Shift” + arrow key. Learn more.
Google Sheets:
Get more accurate data in Google Sheets! The ISURL and ISEMAIL functions are now better at identifying valid website links and email addresses, making it easier to clean up and organize your contact lists and web resources with fewer errors. Learn more.
