faculty are on the frontlines of student mental health challenges, advancements in AI and technology are progressing faster than ever, and we’re all navigating new campus norms in an increasingly hybrid world,” said Sean Michael Morris, Vice President of Academics at Course Hero. “The annual summit elevates expert voices from the classroom — educators and students alike — to offer our community of educators practical strategies that ground their work in the success of today’s students.”
This year, the event features over 25 workshops and faculty-led discussions focused on building learning environments that set students up for success. With the rapid introduction of generative AI to classrooms around the country over the last six months, the program also includes sessions on using AI constructively for teaching, understanding the opportunities and tradeoffs, and preparing students for an AI-enabled workplace. A recent poll from EDUCAUSE showed that the majority of higher education leaders are optimistic about the use of generative AI. AI-focused programming will include student voices, faculty using AI in their classrooms, as well as Edward Tian, founder of GPTZero.
Building on her years of work in conflict resolution, Priya Parker — author of bestselling book The Art of Gathering– will kick off the summit in conversation with Course Hero’s Chief Brand Officer Harriet Seitler about how educators can create classroom cultures that promote human connection and inclusive learning.
