Subevent of Practical AI Session #2
‟Using AI to Enhance Mathematics Classes and Departmental Functions” by Julie Barnes <jbarnes@email.wcu.edu>, Western Carolina University
Abstract:
As teachers, we are always looking for ways to work smarter, not harder, and AI can assist with that. In this talk, we look at a collection of ideas from AI used in calculus and introduction to proof classes. These ideas include some nuts and bolts topics like creating review sheets with solutions, writing creative word problems with useful diagrams, and generating a large collection of possible exam questions to choose from. We will also look at some more artistic ideas, like developing an image for the class’s Canvas tile, generating playing cards about historical mathematicians, and creating a slide show about departmental graduates.
