I have a quick request to colleagues at Duke who mentor graduate students. If they are in the Certificate in College Teaching through the Graduate School, I invite them to join my course on Generative AI in College Teaching this fall. I want to be sure our next generation of instructors can both critically engage with the tools and be ready for changes in our profession. https://lnkd.in/eeQW7ept
