This workshop explores and introduces the use of generative AI (GenAI) art in the art form of comics or manga, for teaching and learning. It introduces educators to tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Canva to create comics for educational purposes.

In an opinion piece titled AI and student assessment in human-centered education, Balducci argues that to address the growing challenges AI presents and ensure high-quality education, educators must emphasize humanistic principles to safeguard the future of student assessment. Building on this perspective, this open conversation will explore the core assessment challenges posed by AI. We will discuss how we can truly know if our students are learning, thinking, and creating when AI tools can generate seemingly original content. Our goal for this conversation is to critically re-evaluate pedagogy in light of these challenges.

Generative AI tools empower educators to create compelling visuals for their teaching materials. This workshop introduces faculty to Adobe Firefly, an AI-powered image creation tool available via Adobe Cloud with our institutional license, focusing on text-to-image generation.
