Exploring In-class Exercises and Lesson Plans that Integrate Generative AI

In higher education, most of the conversation about the impact of generative AI has focused on text output for research and writing projects. But what about image generation with AI? Join us to hear three faculty members share their diverse approaches to helping their students build essential visual communication skills, increasingly leveraging the power of Adobe Firefly and other generative AI tools.

You'll discover:

• How image-based AI tools can facilitate both general AI literacy and practical visual communication for academic work and beyond
• Cross-curricular strategies to engage and empower learners through images, graphics, and creative thinking
• Ways to equip students to become critical, ethical, agile users of visual generative AI, especially in their future careers

Connecting Learning Outcomes, AI Literacy, and Career Readiness

To integrate generative AI across the curriculum, higher education institutions must find meaningful connections between students’ day-to-day academic work, their learning outcomes, and the growing demand for AI literacy everywhere. This session explores ways to do that work from the perspectives of both education and industry. Our featured panelists will reflect on what measurable skills and learning experiences students need in order to face the future classroom and an uncertain future of work. They’ll also offer insights into what employers and academic institutions are looking for as a result of integrated approaches to generative AI across the curriculum.

You’ll discover: 

• How innovative institutions in North America approach curricular transformation and career readiness in the age of generative AI
• Strategies to thoughtfully and equitably invite all students to develop AI literacy through learning outcomes shared by all disciplines
• The growing expectations industry stakeholders have for college graduates transitioning to or upskilling in the workforce
