Exploring the Potential of Generative AI: A Hands-On Workshop with Dall-E and ChatGPT
Monday, April 10, 1:00-2:30 pm
Register for the webinar
In this workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about generative AI technologies such as image generators like Dall-E and text generators like ChatGPT. Through hands-on exercises, they will engage with these tools and explore their potential applications.
During the workshop, participants will have the chance to use both technologies. Through discussions and presentations, we will also consider the implications of these technologies.
Please note that to participate in the hands-on parts of the workshop, participants will need an OpenAI account for access to Dall-E and ChatGPT. If you don't already have an account, we encourage you to go to ChatGPT’s site and sign up beforehand to ensure a smoother experience during the workshop. For those unable to or prefer not to create an account, we will have alternate means by which you can participate.

UCET MALT Grants
Active Learning Techniques are teaching strategies that force students out of the passive listening mode. By engaging in activities such as reflecting, debating, creating, and evaluating, students come to a deeper understanding of the subject matter and skills. High Impact Practices (such as internships, service learning, etc.) are active, but so are more simple strategies such as group discussion, clickers, and class debates. Materials for Active Learning Techniques (MALT) Grants purchase materials needed to use Active Learning Techniques in your classroom. Requests can be for up to $500, and there is a rolling deadline. Only purchases from Indiana University approved vendors will be considered. Before filling out the application, check with UCET (UCET@iusb.edu) for this information. Learn more about MALT Grants.
