Augmenting the Academic: Leveraging AI for Dynamic Course Design and Student Engagement
Speaker: Kevin Eagles
Date: September 11
Time: 12pm - 1pm
This workshop offers an in-depth exploration of how faculty can strategically integrate ChatGPT into their daily academic workflows to enhance course design, lecture planning, student engagement, and assessment. Kevin Eagles, Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor of History and Director of Public History at NKU, will share how he uses generative AI to build syllabi, refine lectures, develop course simulations, and create custom GPTs designed for student-centered learning and independent use.
Drawing on examples from his own work in digital and public history, Professor Eagles will also discuss how AI tools can be positioned as an integral tool in supporting intellectual labor, expanding critical thinking opportunities, and personalizing learning environments. The session aims to demystify AI integration, demonstrating its potential to empower educators rather than replace them.
Whether you’re new to generative AI or looking to deepen your implementation, this workshop will offer both philosophical framing and practical applications for integrating AI meaningfully into your pedagogical practice.
