Eagle Summit: Learn. Grow. Soar.

This session is for Gen-Ed faculty teaching seated courses who want to help students use gen-AI tools ethically and effectively but are unsure where to begin. The session includes an overview of the AI-Education relationship and what is at stake in this rapidly advancing technology. The session will include student examples of AI tools for academic use, and attendees will discuss assumptions about AI and learning and participate in an activity to develop practical strategies for integrating AI as a learning tool into their courses. **EDITED** Please note that this session description has been edited since its original submission in August 2024. As with every semester since November 2022, fall 2024 proved to be yet another example of how AI is advancing faster than expected and how higher education is scrambling to keep up and stay relevant. Even student views about AI have changed since August 2024. Due to planning logistics and anonymity concerns, this session has been revised to include student survey data and classroom examples instead of live Q&A and an increased focus on declining reading and thinking skills and a discussion about what we have left in higher education.

Join us for an engaging session where we draw inspiration from the cult classic film Roadhouse to explore how Canvas enhances instruction. Just as Dalton, the wise bouncer, transforms the rowdy bar into a safe haven, Canvas empowers educators to create a structured, engaging learning environment for community college students. Whether you’re an educator, administrator, or technical training professional, you’ll leave with actionable strategies to implement in your own teaching practice!
