- Book Club: Attend at least 5 of 6 book club sessions (In person or online)
Participants are welcome to attend as many sessions and session types as they would like, but to earn the AI-Enhanced Teaching Certificate, participants will have to select a specific track to complete. Each certificate track will require the completion of 3 assignments by June 1st, 2025 in addition to the required workshop session attendance.
AI-Enhanced Teaching Certificate Requirements
Participants can learn more about each certificate track in the sections below.
Synchronous Workshop
The synchronous sessions, while aligned with the book Teaching with AI, are designed to stand alone and introduce participants to a number of topics, starting with an introduction to artificial intelligence and building into ways AI can be used to enhance teaching and learning.
Participants can choose to come to as many sessions as they please, but can also choose the synchronous workshop as the method in which they'd like to complete the AI-Enhanced Teaching Certificate. To earn the AI-Enhanced Teaching Certificate, participants who choose the synchronous workshop as their certificate track must attend 6 of the 8 workshop sessions and complete 3 assignments by June 1st, 2025. These sessions will be held in a hybrid format so participants can attend online or in-person.
Workshop sessions will be held again during the Spring, 2025 semester with dates to be announced, so participants have the option to attend all of the required sessions in Fall and Spring.

I can't attend all of the required sessions, what should I do?
You can replace a missed session by completing one of the following options (maximum of 2 make-up sessions per person):
- Attend a free, online AI-related course from our pre-approved list and submit a 200-word summary of what you learned. See a course you’d like to try that isn’t on the list? Submit it to us for pre-approval!
- Miss a book club session? Submit 400 words that include a summary of the chapters from your missed session and a reflection or questions about how you might apply what you learned. This should be submitted before the date of your next book club meeting.
Can I choose to complete multiple certificate tracks?
Participants can choose to join the book club and the synchronous workshop sessions as they please! However, only one certificate track is needed to earn the certificate. Participants can attend both types of sessions, but should still register for one specific certificate track for the purpose of record keeping!
