I am still trying to figure out ways to use GenAI to enhance instruction, not just as a “faster google” like some students described it to me, but in a way to really support learning. So I have been playing with Claude as a personal instructor for a couple of days. And I like it!
“Hi Claude, I want to plan a 45 minute workshop for university teachers with the title “how do I cultivate joy, passion, and purpose in my teaching, and how do I share it with my students?”. The goal is for the participants to leave the workshop feeling a renewed sense of joy, passion, and purpose going into their future teaching, and I also want them to be able to articulate what it is that brings them feelings of joy, passion, and purpose in their teaching. Ideally, they will have strategies for how to cultivate those feelings, and have ideas on how to share that with their students.
