Join the Grove Center for Excellence in Science Education as they host an AI Workshop lead by Greg Kestin on Thursday, February 19 from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm in 16 Ritenour Building. 

"Do your exams cover the same topics as your lessons? Are your assignments aligned with your learning goals? In this workshop you will use AI-powered natural language processing to analyze your course documents. You will automatically organize your materials into a searchable knowledge base and use machine learning algorithms to create an easy-to-navigate concept map of the topics covered in your materials. In addition, you will also be given a tour of an AI tutor framework designed with pedagogical best practices in mind."
