  AI for Everyone 

  Special Focus: AI Detection Tools & International Students

  Learn about cautions to remember when grading work or reading written documents authored by international students. Please look at the article linked below before the workshop.

  This session will also briefly review information presented in the TurnItIn AI Module workshop on October 25 (see recording link below).

  We might also have time for a general discussion about topics such as how you’re using Artificial Intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT, Claude, Elicit, or AI-enhanced modules in existing software in your work—or what you see students and colleagues doing. Come listen in if you’re curious, even if you currently are not using any AI tools. We will schedule another discussion in December.

  WHEN: Monday, November 20 at 3:00 p.m.
