AI Professional Learning

Practical learning for people navigating fast-moving technology.

I design and facilitate workshops, demonstrations, discussions, and applied learning experiences that help educators and professionals use AI thoughtfully—without losing human judgment, accessibility, or the goals that matter.

My work has evolved alongside the technology: from early prompting and use cases, to ethics and policy, to human–AI workflows, accessibility, and sustained design practice.

EXPLORE

Build confidence by making the technology visible.

Early sessions focused on practical use cases, live demonstrations, prompting, scripting, and helping participants understand what generative AI could actually do.

Representative topics:

  • Generative AI use cases for teaching and learning

  • Prompting and iterative prompt design

  • Live AI demonstrations

  • Reducing repetitive instructional workload

  • Student and faculty perspectives on AI

QUESTION

Move from capability to judgment.

As adoption accelerated, the questions became less about “Can AI do this?” and more about when, why, and whether it should.

Representative topics:

  • Ethics and limitations of generative AI

  • Bias, privacy, transparency, and accountability

  • AI literacy and responsible use

  • Academic integrity and assessment design

  • Human judgment in AI-assisted work

GUIDE

Turn uncertainty into usable practice.

I have helped translate institutional expectations and rapidly changing technology into flexible guidance educators can actually use.

Representative topics:

  • AI syllabus guidance

  • Creating flexible course policies

  • Designing guardrails rather than blanket rules

  • Connecting AI use to course goals and disciplinary expectations

  • Faculty conversations about appropriate and inappropriate use

INTEGRATE

Build AI into workflows without removing the human.

More recent work focuses on repeatable systems: accessibility, design continuity, verification, and human–AI collaboration over time.

Representative topics:

  • AI-assisted accessibility workflows

  • Human verification and quality assurance

  • Designing repeatable AI workflows

  • Design memory and continuity

  • Expand → Preserve → Evolve

  • Sustained human–AI design

What a Session Might Look Like

My sessions are typically active rather than lecture-heavy. Depending on the audience and goal, they may include:

  • live demonstrations

  • guided prompt practice

  • real-world examples

  • collaborative discussion

  • scenario analysis

  • reusable prompt patterns

  • checklists and workflow tools

  • participant questions and experimentation
