AI Ready Webinar Series
Developed by the Council of Independent Colleges, AI Ready fosters learning, shares resources, and increases effective adoption related to artificial intelligence (AI). The network focuses on pedagogical and business uses for AI, bringing the current conversation about AI to key areas of campus.
Each month highlights AI application in a specific area of campus (i.e. AI Pedagogy and AI in the Classroom, Admissions and Enrollment, Communication and Advancement, etc.) and includes AI literacy materials, emerging use cases and needs, hands-on applications, and more. AIT will reach out to those departments in advance of their featured month with relevant details but faculty and staff may participate in any session they are interested in attending.
Registration links will be added to the HR Spotlight - Learning & Development website. All webinars will run from 1:00–2:00 p.m. CST. If the date/time doesn't work for your schedule, register for the webinar you are interested in and you will receive the recording afterwards. Below is the schedule of webinar topics by month.
