Workshop: Artificial Intelligence Use in Nursing Education
October 9, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Featuring guests speakers:
Dr. Maria Bajwa and Dr. Susan Seibold- Simpson
This professional development session aims to enhance nurse educators’ and support staff’s AI literacy, enabling them to integrate AI tools effectively into nursing education and administrative workflows. The session focuses on understanding AI technology, addressing its ethical implications, and applying AI to improve productivity in healthcare teaching.
Artificial intelligence (AI) uses algorithms and computational models to enable machines to exhibit cognitive abilities imitating humans, such as learning, reasoning, pattern recognition, and language processing (O’Conner, 2023). This workshop explores AI applications in nursing education, focusing on educator productivity (O’Conner, 2023; Lomis, 2021). It aims to equip nurse educators and support staff with essential AI literacy skills tailored to effectively integrate AI into healthcare teaching and administration to better manage workloads in instructional processes.
Participants will delve into three core competencies essential for educators: understanding AI technology (Schneidereith & Thibault, 2023), recognizing its social and ethical implications, and integrating AI smoothly into workflows (Lomis et al., 2021).
Workshop Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify three key competencies in AI literacy.
- Describe two methods to integrate AI tools into nursing education.
- Evaluate AI applications, focusing on ethical implications in nursing education and research.
- Use an AI-powered tool to create a work-related sample.
