SURN Exploring Artificial Intelligence
Join us for this one-day conference as we pry open the lid on generative artificial intelligence. We’ll hear from experts and talk with each other as we seek a deeper understanding of the affordances and constraints of AI, find common language for how we talk about AI, and build our confidence to use AI in ways that enhance deeper teaching and learning.Keynote
