The Media and Design Studio and the Language Resource Center invite you to join us for our next engaging hands-on workshop, where we will explore the potential uses of Copilot by your students, both for specific assignments and as a supplemental study aide. Our previous workshop on faculty use of Copilot provided an excellent opportunity to workshop ideas and we are excited to continue the conversation.
