Monday, November 25, 2024 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. Central

Facilitator: Justin Greathouse, Director of Faculty Development, Lake-Sumter State College

For some students, asking for help may be too stressful. For online students, there may be no access to help when they have momentum or have a question. This webinar explores how AI tutors can provide help 24/7 as well as take on a persona in the course. For synchronous courses, these tools can offer co-teachers, allowing the instructor to give more time to students in smaller groups. Further, using AI voice-overs provides consistency and speed for lectures and tutorials. Join this webinar to learn how to engage your learners with these tools.
