Tune-in: Upcoming Webinars
Teaching Students in the Age of AI: Implications for the Psychology Classroom: An APA TOPSS Webinar:
Ready or not, generative AI is here and is changing the way we learn, teach, and work. It is imperative for us to teach students AI literacy skills that they will need for their futures, including how to use it effectively and ethically. Keeping our heads in the sand or adopting an "AI is cheating" approach will not serve them well in the new AI world. In this webinar presenter Elizabeth Yost Hammer, PhD, of Xavier University of Louisiana will unpack the skills underlying AI literacy and explore how these skills can be enhanced in the introductory psychology classroom, while also demonstrating some AI tools. There will be time for interaction and question and answer so come with thoughts and questions! The webinar will be recorded and sent to all those who register.

Leaning into Our Values: Incorporating GenAI into Our Teaching Practice: With the disruptive innovation of Generative AI, educational leaders and faculty alike face uncertainty with the disruptive innovation of this mutable technology. A key component to dealing with radical change is ‘leaning into’ and living according to our personal and professional values. This webinar will encourage participants to examine the roles our values play as we examine how GenAI impacts authorship, connection and critical analysis and meaning-making in our academic learning and workplace environments.

Science Training Session: Bayesian Inference Without Tears: This webinar will showcase the theoretical advantages and practical feasibility of a Bayesian approach to data analysis. A general introduction to Bayesian inference and parameter estimation is followed by a more detailed treatment of Bayes factor hypothesis testing. Throughout the webinar, concrete demonstrations with the JASP program (jasp-stats.org) highlight the ease with which data analysts may answer important questions that cannot be addressed within the traditional frequentist paradigm. Potential pitfalls and solutions are discussed. No prior knowledge of Bayesian inference is required.
