TechTuesday
A weekly tip email from your neighborhood Instructional Technology and eHR team.
March 5 has some fun-to-know historical events. On this day in history:
- 1770 Boston Massacre occurred when a riot broke on our King Street
- 1853 Steinway & Sons opened their factory in New York
- 1971 Zeppelin debuted Stairway to Heaven
- 2024 School of Dentistry personnel learned how to report issues with Dentranet
Tip #1 – That’s right! In past Tech Tuesdays, we discussed how to use the Feedback tab in Dentranet. This is for general feedback on the user experience, like the appearance and ease of use. If something is truly broken or important content cannot be found, use the “Need Help?” button found by clicking on your account icon.
This pops up a submission window in which you can submit details.
Tip #2 – Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping education, with students learning about AI concepts and applications to prepare for the future. Institutions are incorporating AI tools into teaching methods, offering personalized learning experiences and fostering critical thinking skills for a technology-driven world. It is imperative that educators and students stay aware of advancements in the field. To aid in this effort, VCU has an incredible summary of tips and advice, which I have linked below.
Tip #2 was crafted with the assistance of ChatGPT with the following prompt – “write a short blurb about AI from an education perspective.”
