Teaching with AI

Generative AI undoubtedly presents challenges for educators who have taught in a world without it, but it also opens up significant opportunities to enhance teaching and learning. This half-day virtual seminar is designed to help instructors successfully bring generative AI tools and topics into the classroom—and to help their students explore the tools’ power and limits. Attendees will learn practical ways to bring AI into their classroom through exercises and other teaching modalities. The seminar will also explore how AI can be thoughtfully integrated into student assessments and how educators can use AI agents to support teaching and learning.

Facilitating the seminar is Mitchell Weiss, a faculty member at Harvard Business School for 10 years and an award-winning teacher, who is also the chair of the first-year curriculum at HBS. He has first-hand experience building and deploying AI-based sessions into his courses for MBA students and executives and will share real-time perspectives on teaching with AI. The seminar will be delivered virtually and is intended for all instructors, regardless of their level of experience with generative AI.

The seminar covers a broad range of topics, including:

• General approaches for bringing generative AI into the classroom
• Practical, specific exercises that get students hands-on with AI
• Tips for elevating teaching with AI
• Guidelines for students to make the most of their learning with AI
• Student perspectives on AI in the classroom
