Join Maggie Gilchrist, MA, and Douglas Jerolimov, PhD, from IUPUI's Center for Teaching and Learning to discover how artificial intelligence and ChatGPT can help and/or hinder goals in nursing.

This 90-minute workshop offers a space for Nursing faculty to explore how best to leverage generative AI ethically in their classrooms while also mitigating the harm these tools can cause. Maggie and Doug will discuss possible ways to incorporate ChatGPT into nursing curriculum, as well as show ways ChatGPT can "proof" an assignment.

Presenters also will share IU policies and syllabus language, best practices, and host a 30-minute workshop where they'll discuss ways to incorporate ethical uses of AI. (Please bring a sample assignment from your course. The assignment does not need to already implement AI.)

Jen Remick and Megan Siehl – Harm Prevention Partners

OCTOBER 26, 2023

The Harm Prevention Partners Program used both user- and partner-centered design to develop an innovative clinical model. Our model engages teams of students in direct patient care, working to intervene on nurse-sensitive indicators to prevent patient harm events. Students document the care delivered on a smartphone tool that generates an intervention dashboard to visualize impact. Faculty then use the dashboard to guide debriefing and to reflect on student impact on patient outcomes.

Attendees will learn how this innovative model was developed and discuss how the same principles can be employed to implement the model in their own clinical courses.

This pilot aimed to improve student performance, enhance perceptions of the effectiveness and usefulness of their assigned readings, and streamline access to required course materials.

At the completion of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

Describe the need for nurse educators to embrace emerging learning resources and technologies.
Identify learning theories and best-practices to support the use of online, interactive learning modules.
Discuss the impact of using interactive learning modules on student performance and perceptions.
