Brewing Ideas: Conversations for Faculty

Brewing Ideas is a short, conversational educational development series for community college faculty who are curious (excited, cautious or undecided) about artificial intelligence. Each session includes a brief podcast or article to review beforehand, followed by a 30-minute interactive Zoom discussion.

The goal isn’t to convince or convert anyone, but to simple explore what’s new, what’s helpful and what’s challenging about AI in teaching. Join us for a relaxed and informative chat where questions and curiosity are always welcome. No expertise required, just Zoom and coffee!
