Leveraging AI Bots
This faculty workshop, presented by Col Andrew Farina, PhD (U.S. Army) provides insight for leveraging AI bots to boost student engagement in the classroom. As artificial intelligence transforms the modern operational environment, instructors must evolve their teaching methods to align with core principles of adult learning theory. Attendees will leave witha practical blueprint for designing and implementing a custom AI bot that supports adult learning.
