Weingarten will co-facilitate this workshop on using artificial intelligence as a learning partner to support effective, brain-based study practices. Participants will explore how AI can enhance natural learning processes such as retrieval practice, explanation, organization, and reflection while strengthening—not replacing—critical thinking. The session will introduce practical uses of tools like Goblin Tools and NotebookLM for tasks such as generating practice questions, breaking down complex concepts, organizing information, and creating personalized study plans. Students will also learn how to evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and bias, understand institutional AI use policies, and apply ethical guidelines that distinguish appropriate AI-supported learning from academic misconduct. The workshop emphasizes responsible, accessible, and effective use of AI to support deeper learning.
Learning Goal:
Develop how to use AI as a study aid while evaluating its accuracy and using it ethically.
Learning Outcome:
Students will demonstrate the ability to apply AI tools to support studying—such as generating practice questions, organizing information, and explaining concepts—while evaluating AI outputs for accuracy and following ethical academic AI guidelines.
