Overview
This workshop is ideal for ELT academic managers who are comfortable with digital tools but are still finding their way with AI. It's designed for those who have some familiarity with the concept of AI but want to deepen their understanding and explore its practical applications in an ELT context.
You don't need to be a tech expert, just open to learning, experimenting, and thinking critically about how AI can support your role and enhance teaching and learning in your centre.
Bring your laptops!
NB: If using a work-issued device, please check in advance that you have permission to access and sign up for AI tools.
Kindly sponsored by:
