In today’s world, technology is evolving faster than educators can learn how to handle it. AI technology and tools in particular have seen a momentous boom, leaving those in the educational field feeling overwhelmed and at times alone in their attempts to manage the changes and the accompanying challenges.
The AI Learning Lab, facilitated by the FCTL’s very own Dr. Tracy Gross, was created to help address these challenges through discussion, exploration, experimentation, and hands-on experience. The goal of the Learning Lab is to help educators learn how they can handle AI implementation or guidelines in their own courses or professional practice, and to provide helpful assistance in the navigation of responsible AI use in a time when those lines seem harder than ever to draw. Tomorrow marks the start of the AI Learning Lab’s four fall semester sessions, which will be followed by another four sessions in the spring semester of 2027. If you are looking for a place to learn, experiment with, and grow in your skills with the most recent AI technology, the FCTL encourages you to join this group and find a supportive community where you can do exactly that.
