Smarter Planning, Stronger Teaching: AI in Adult Education

Workshop Description

This interactive, hands-on workshop is designed for adult education instructors at all levels of experience with artificial intelligence, from curious beginners to confident users.
Participants will explore how AI can be used as a practical teaching partner to save time, reduce workload, and enhance instructional quality without replacing the human connection that matters most in adult learning. Through guided demonstrations and structured practice, instructors will learn how to use AI to quickly create lesson plans, classroom activities, assessments, presentations, and differentiated instructional materials aligned to adult learner needs. The session emphasizes real-world applications that streamline planning and preparation, allowing educators to focus more energy on what truly makes an impact: being present, responsive, and engaged with their students. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with AI-generated products they can immediately use in their classrooms, along with ready-to-implement ideas, prompts, and resources that support ethical, effective, and confident AI integration in adult education settings.
