Generative AI is coming to the workplace, so I designed a business technology class with AI baked in
Matched: AI
A University of Wisconsin-Stout professor integrated Microsoft 365 Copilot into a senior business technology capstone course, having students use AI tools freely while journaling their experiences. Students quickly gained confidence, using AI to summarize meetings, draft slides, and review assignments. Challenges included writing effective prompts, catching AI hallucinations, and remembering to use the tool. The instructor emphasized critical thinking alongside AI use, advising students to draft content independently before using AI for review.
