Conference Resources

Welcome to our AI conference resource page. This section will serve as a hub for resources before, during and after the conference.

Our knowledge and experiences with AI in education are not uniformed and the conference is designed to acknowledge and respect that diversity. As we embark on our  journey towards shared understanding, we curated some resources that we would like conference participants to watch, read, and listen to before April 19th. We anticipate that exploring these resources should not take more than 3 hours of your time. We won't have a quiz so skimming the materials is ok :) as we know you have very busy schedules. Your time is a valuable commodity and we feel so honored that you have chosen to spend your day exploring and engaging with AI together. Cheers to One MUSC and Changing what's Possible.
