| Category | Education |
| Overview | Join us for a practical, jargon-free introduction to artificial intelligence and its growing role in higher education. In this one-hour online workshop, you'll explore the basics of AI—including generative AI and large language models (LLMs)—in a way that's easy to understand, and discover how these technologies are already shaping teaching, research, and student support services. Whether you're an academic or a member of Professional Services, this session will help you build confidence, write more effective prompts, and identify opportunities to leverage AI effectively in your work. No prior experience with AI is needed.
