Gen AI at CITL

This workshop focuses on moving from passively receiving AI outputs to actively engaging AI as a collaborator in inquiry and creation. Participants learn how to structure conversations that build on their own thinking using prompts not as commands, but as iterative tools for exploration and refinement. Through guided practice, they experiment with integrating AI into brainstorming, outlining, and creative processes while maintaining ownership of ideas and expertise.
