FLO MicroCourse: Artificial Intelligence Images in the Classroom

Join us for an exploration of the ethical minefield of artificial intelligence (AI) image generation in this free, one-week Facilitation Learning Online (FLO) MicroCourse.  

We will tackle the ethical complexities of this fast-evolving technology, exploring issues like bias, ownership, and the future of creativity. Through hands-on experimenting with AI tools, analyzing examples, and engaging in debates with peers, you will have the opportunity to build your own ethical framework to navigate this powerful technology. Artists, teachers, and art enthusiasts are welcome!  

We also have two optional synchronous sessions planned. These sessions will be recorded and shared with participants who are unable to attend.

• Tuesday, June 18, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time
• Thursday, June 20, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time
  

Participants should be prepared for approximately 6-8 hours of asynchronous work throughout the week.

Facilitators: Brent de Waal and Jason Toal
