What This FDP Is About
AI tools are changing how educators work. Faculty who learn to use them effectively can cut lesson preparation time by 60%, create more engaging assessments, and stay current with evolving research — all without learning to code.
This FDP is practical and tool-focused. Every session involves direct hands-on use of the tools — not slides about AI, but AI in action.
