Note: This podcast refers to Learning Styles. Learning Styles are NOT a thing, but this myth exists ALL OVER THE INTERNET. Read about why Learning Styles are not a thing.

Vanilla Introduction:
Below you'll find a mini-module related to creating interactive class activities using AI. The more we get students to interact with the content and engage with the ideas the stickier the content becomes. Sometimes it is challenging to come up with ideas to get them talking and working together. By providing explanations of key concepts, course readings, and other resources, you can have various AI tools generate interactive class activities. Watch the video, peruse the materials, and then engage in the activity and reflection. If you are looking for a platform, Jen suggests you use any of the big text generation AI tools (Chat GPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini) for this assignment.
