Workshop – Al in the Classroom

/0 Comments/in /by

Whether you are just beginning to explore generative AI or already incorporating it into your teaching, this interactive workshop will help you use it well and apply it to your business law classes. We will cover the basics of how the technology works, common strengths and limitations, and practical ways faculty can incorporate AI into their own workflow. Using a structured framework for distinguishing different types of AI use, participants will leave with concrete strategies for integrating AI into their courses in ways that align with learning outcomes and preserve student judgment, agency, and critical thinking. We will particularly emphasize assignment structures appropriate for building legal reasoning, and which have been used successfully in lower division and asynchronous, online business law classes.
