About the AI Learning Lab
The AI Hands-On Learning Lab is a monthly, guided exploration of technology tools with a focus on their AI capabilities. Each session spotlights a specific software and provides learners the opportunity to delve into its distinct AI features through hands-on exploration. The lab will also foster discussions on how these tools can be effectively used across workplace contexts - from getting the job, reducing friction in your workflow processes, and leveling up your learning design.
We will rotate through focusing on an AI tool through one of these three specific lenses:
Job Edition
Ways of Working Edition
Learning Content Edition.
Our November AI Learning Lab Ways of Working Edition will be focused Miro.
