Course Description
The evolution of generative AI is unfolding at a fast and furious pace! While unprecedented opportunities abound for innovation in teaching and learning using generative AI, there are also ethical and copyright issues that need to be examined and evaluated. Throughout this 4-week course, participants will explore the fundamentals of generative AI, its capabilities in creating text, images, audio, and video content, and ways that music educators can effectively integrate a variety of AI-based tools into their teaching practices to enhance productivity, creativity, and student engagement alongside strategies for implementing these technologies effectively and ethically in the classroom.
By the end of the course, participants will not only gain a solid foundation in the operational aspects of generative AI and how to use it creatively and successfully, but also develop a keen understanding of its ethical implications. Come and join the conversation!
This is a four week online course that runs from April 7, 2025 – May 2, 2025.
