This year's Wednesday with Judy series focuses on the communication, interpersonal, and counseling skills required to be an effective consultant. The August session returns to the importance and use of AI. Today’s workforce needs increased retooling of skills that will only accelerate in the coming years. AI tools now take repetitive tasks and create deliverables in a fraction of the time it once took. Together we’ll guide the design and development of a course using AI tools. We’ll start by training the LLM on the audience description and overall goals of the training. Next, we’ll establish the learning objectives and chunk them into topics. From there we’ll generate associated test questions to reinforce learning and measure retention. Join us and learn more about the power of AI.
Also, find out how Jerry integrates his journalism, mass media, video production, and instructional design experiences. Using AI tools, he is finding and will share new ways to dramatically raise productivity, especially related to course development. Every day, Jerry experiments with using one of the increasing numbers of AI tools.
Each Wednesday examines and demonstrates how the topic can enhance our professional practice. So, please join Jerry and Judy and help create a common or universal model for performance excellence. You will receive a zoom link upon registration.
