AI in Action: Hands-On Tools
Eduaide.Ai: Instruction By Design
Thomas Hummel
In this session, attendees will discuss the potential and boundaries of Generative AI in education. The session will delve into practical applications of AI in supporting evidence-based instruction. We’ll highlight use cases, best practices, and effective workflows within the Eduaide.Ai workspace. Participants will discover how to use AI tools to expand the range of teaching strategies at their disposal, streamline the tools they use for instructional design, and align their practice with current learning sciences, all while focusing on student success. Join us to learn how AI can be integrated thoughtfully into your instructional practices.
Cognii: AI for Assessment and Instruction
Dee Kanejiya
This presentation will discuss EdTech trends and focus on AI technology to improve the assessment and instructional practices. Educational assessment practices have largely remained static and are becoming less relevant today e.g. the multiple choice questions do not accurately measure students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills. On the other hand, conversational learning and assessments which engage students in open-response natural language conversations are more aligned to career success. Solving this problem requires unique AI technology custom designed to support the best educational pedagogies such as Bloom’s mastery learning and Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development. This session will share efficacy studies using Cognii Virtual Learning Assistant technology and provide guidance on how to leverage AI for constructed response assessment and tutoring to scale the quality of education.
QuestionWell.AI: Never Copy and Paste from ChatGPT Again! QuestionWell
Maya Bialik
In this hands-on session, educators will explore the power of QuestionWell, a tool designed by educators to streamline and simplify the way teachers create classroom resources, whether they eventually like to present them in Kahoot, Canvas, Quizizz, or any other program! Attendees will learn how to quickly tailor these resources to meet diverse student needs, support differentiated instruction, and encourage mastery learning for all students. Join us to experience how QuestionWell can save time and enrich your teaching toolkit, all while keeping you in control of content quality and customization.
Empowering Educators: Leveraging AI Legally and Responsibly in the Classroom
Neesha Nanda and Samantha Gleisten
In an era of rapid technological advancements, all educators—whether AI innovators or hesitant explorers—require the tools and knowledge to harness AI in a legally and ethically responsible manner. This essential session is designed to provide educators with the foundational guidance needed to prevent the next digital divide in education. Together, we will explore how to empower teachers to adopt AI effectively while safeguarding student privacy and equity. Participants will learn how to create a personal vision for AI integration in their teaching, identify challenges in AI adoption, and discover strategies for customization and implementation. This session lays the groundwork for deeper exploration and will guide participants toward actionable steps for building an AI-literate, future-ready community of educators. Join fellow leaders in shaping the future of education by ensuring AI is a tool for all, used legally and responsibly.
Responsible EduPolicy.AI: The Critical Role of AI Policy and AI Ethics in Higher Education
David Hatami
The responsible use of generative AI in colleges and universities is a challenge with which many institutions are grappling. This session will dive into the importance of establishing a comprehensive AI policy built upon ethical AI principles at institutions of higher education with input from all stakeholders, including administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The roles and responsibilities of the stakeholders in the development of an AI policy will be shared along with suggestions for how to start or build upon the conversation around an AI policy at your institution. There will be time allotted for participants to share how their institution has approached the development of an AI policy.
Elevating Education with Breakout Learning: The Role of AI in Enriching Student Discussions
Dulany Phillips and Steven Walters
In this dynamic session, Co-founder Steven Walters shares how Breakout Learning’s AI-evaluated small-group discussion platform is reshaping business education. Using student-centered, evaluative technology, Breakout’s award-winning platform empowers professors by tracking and analyzing student-led discussions, generating in-depth feedback on key themes and insights before class debriefs. And now, with Breakout’s new Discussion Designer tool, professors can quickly and easily create customized, energetic discussions around the material they’re already teaching.
