Harnessing the Power of Large Language Models (LLMs) for Educational Innovation
Education has always demanded constant adaptation to market needs, technology advancements, and evolving teaching methods. We need tools that not only keep pace but propel learning forward. How can Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini revolutionize the way we teach and students learn?

This workshop will explore practical applications of LLMs in education and demonstrate how to integrate them effectively. Michael has successfully incorporated LLMs into his college and certificate program curriculum for UX design, educating over 200 students on their potential. This integration has resulted in:

• Creating innovative teaching tools
• Augmenting student knowledge
• Providing enhanced feedback
• Delivering differentiated assignments
• Achieving faster response times to students
• Creating real-time class assessments

What Sets This Workshop Apart:

• Focus on Practical Applications: Michael prioritizes real-world applications of LLMs, ensuring participants gain actionable skills.
• Hands-on Learning: The workshop uses a hands-on approach, allowing participants to gain practical experience with LLMs.
• Open Discussion: Michael encourages thoughtful and meaningful conversations among participants.
