Education Technology Resources & Sessions

Register for the next workshop from the AI Technology Series
This series is designed to equip you with the latest tools and techniques for integrating AI into your academic and professional endeavors. Exemplary faculty and staff from across GW will lead these workshops to discuss the intersection of technology and academic medicine, with a special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The session will explore how AI-driven tools can streamline essential faculty workflow processes such as crafting letters of recommendation (LORs), generating biography templates, summarizing course evaluations, and drafting end-of-year faculty reports (Lyterati). By integrating AI, faculty can enhance efficiency and focus on higher-impact activities, including teaching and research. Participants will also gain insights into optimizing AI tools for handling tasks like course evaluation summaries and drafting narratives such as end-of-year Lyterati reports. Additionally, the session will address similarities and valuable differences between ChatGPT and Perplexity. Participants will leave the session with tips for crafting prompts and real-world examples of how AI can unlock new levels of productivity.
Presenters: Brandon Beattie, MMSc, PA-C, and Elizabeth Prevou, DMSc, MPH, PA-C.
