Book Club: Teaching Effectively with ChatGPT

Book Club

Do you want your students to engage more deeply, receive more personalized support, and develop stronger learning strategies in your courses? You are cordially invited to join a cross-disciplinary instructor reading group focused on Dan Levy and Ángela Pérez Albertos’s Teaching Effectively with ChatGPT. Pick up a free copy at WING 160!

Teaching Effectively with ChatGPT provides concrete examples from educators around the world and step-by-step guidance for integrating AI thoughtfully and responsibly into your pedagogy.
