Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nThis session is a high-level tour of what’s actually new this year and why it matters for the way you teach. Agents can now browse the web\, write\, and complete multi-step tasks on their own. Vibe coding lets you describe a Canvas page\, quiz\, or interactive activity in plain English and get working content back — no coding experience required. NotebookLM keeps an AI grounded in your own syllabus and readings instead of letting it wander the open web. And local AI tools — speech-to-text\, text-to-speech\, and small models — let you build course materials on your own laptop without anything leaving the room. We’ll look at what’s available through your ScarletMail account\, what students are arriving with\, and what each of these tools is actually good for. The 30-minute work session that follows is hands-on: pick one thing that caught your attention and try it on your own course material\, with help in the room. \nThis session fulfills Competencies 1\, 2\, and 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nWhat to bring (optional): a Canvas page\, syllabus\, or reading you’d like to turn into something interactive. \nREGISTER \nQuestions about the Teaching with GenAI Faculty Workshop Series?
