Game-Changing Training for Workplace Success with AI
A Library 2.0 / Learning Revolution Workshop with Reed Hepler
OVERVIEW:
This 60-minute interactive workshop explores how artificial intelligence is transforming workplaces across disciplines, focusing on developing human-centered skills that remain valuable amid technological shifts. Rather than centering education around specific AI tools that may become obsolete, this session emphasizes preparing students with enduring perspectives and critical thinking approaches that will serve them throughout their careers.
The workshop begins with an overview of current AI tools and resources being adopted across various industries, followed by an analysis of workplace trends in AI implementation. We will explore strategies for aligning educational practices with workplace realities, bridging theoretical frameworks with practical applications, and evaluating the utility of specific AI tools within different disciplines.
Participants will examine the distinction between AI-pervaded environments (where AI serves as one of many tools) versus AI-centered approaches (which may create overdependence on transitory technologies). The session emphasizes the importance of teaching students to use tools they'll encounter in their future workplaces while developing transferable skills that transcend any particular platform or application. Through collaborative dialogue, attendees will gain insights into creating learning experiences that prepare students to thrive in workplaces where AI pervades but doesn't necessarily dominate professional practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this intensive, participants will be able to:
- Analyze their own pedagogical approaches in relation to field-specific AI applications, identifying opportunities to align classroom practices with workplace expectations.
- Articulate the relationship between theoretical frameworks and practitioner needs in technology-enhanced environments, recognizing potential disconnects between academic preparation and workplace implementation.
- Evaluate the utility and limitations of specific AI tools within their discipline, determining which applications provide meaningful value versus those that may create dependency without corresponding benefits.
- Identify significant trends in AI adoption across business sectors, using this knowledge to inform curriculum development that anticipates future workplace needs.
The recording and presentation slides will be available to all who register.
