Discover the transformative potential of Generative AI in reshaping educational leadership, instructional design, and strategic decision-making. This interactive workshop explores practical applications, cost-effective solutions, and ethical frameworks, empowering participants to harness the power of AI for enhanced online learning experiences.

In this highly interactive workshop, "Beyond Jarvis: Unleashing the Power of Generative AI in Educational Strategy and Design," we dive into the transformative capabilities of Generative AI in driving innovation and efficiency across educational settings. Participants will actively engage in hands-on activities and collaborative exercises, gaining a deep understanding of generative AI principles and mastering effective prompting techniques with cutting-edge tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to generate high-quality, relevant AI responses for various educational tasks. Through small group discussions, scenario-based simulations, and real-time demonstrations, we'll explore how generative AI can revolutionize strategic planning and decision-making processes, providing cost-effective solutions for operating under budget constraints. Participants will work in teams to leverage AI tools for in-depth data analysis, scenario planning, and stakeholder engagement, leading to more informed and accurate decisions. In the realm of instructional design, participants will have the opportunity to apply Generative AI tools in a mock course development project, experiencing firsthand how AI can streamline content creation, assessment design, and faculty training, making these processes more efficient and scalable. Throughout the workshop, we'll foster lively discussions and debates on ethical considerations and potential challenges associated with integrating generative AI in education. Participants will analyze real-world case studies and collaboratively develop frameworks for responsible and equitable AI implementation. By the end of this comprehensive workshop, administrators, faculty members, instructional designers, and technologists will leave equipped with practical tools, actionable insights, and a deep understanding of how to harness the power of generative AI to enhance educational experiences and drive innovation in their respective institutions.
