Portraits of students Madison and Margaret for Human Connection in an AI World - Student Perspectives

We launch a short series exploring AI at UW-Madison with a snapshot of the student learning experience. Two L&S undergraduate students share their thoughts around adjusting to college, connecting with other students and instructors, and the influence of AI. How do these students think about learning? And how is AI shaping their educational experience? Listen for insights to inform your teaching practice.

See strategies from three L&S instructors for making group work more effective in your classroom.
