Description Coming Soon
Facilitator: Peter Shea, Assistant Dean for AI Integration, Middlesex Community College
February 25, 2026 – AI Adventures in Introduction to Psychology
This session reviews a semester-long pilot that integrated AI into an introductory psychology course through two approaches: infusing AI into course content and having students use a custom-designed AI assistant. Participants will be introduced to the general framework that guided this integration and the purpose of the course-specific tool in supporting student learning. The session also shares insights into how students engaged with AI, including perceived benefits, challenges, and shifts in learning behaviors. It concludes with key reflections and implications for future use of AI in psychology and other college courses.
Facilitator: Julie Grignon, Ph.D., Psychology Academic Chairperson, Anne Arundel Community College
March 11, 2026 – Notebook LM: The AI Scaffold for Project Success
This session will explore Notebook LM, Google’s AI-powered research and note-taking task assistant that serves as a personalized “thinking partner.” Unlike general AI models, NotebookLM grounds its responses in your provided source materials, ensuring verifiable information and minimizing inaccuracies. This session introduces The AI Scaffold, a systematic workflow for project managers to responsibly integrate Google NotebookLM across a project lifecycle, turning project materials into actionable project plans. Applicable to a variety of project types, such as committee/task force leadership to tech rollouts, this session demonstrates how AI can transform project management.
Facilitator: Lola Banks, Ph.D., Community Ambassador, Strategies by Design
