With the rapid uptake of the use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, faculty, staff, and administration across the university have been working to develop workshops, presentations, and resources for educators that are specific to MSU. EDLI is compiling these opportunities on this post. If you have events or links to add to this list, please send them to edli.team@msu.edu. Note this was most recently updated on:
