The Carpentries have created a new add-on module for instructor training on GenAI in Workshops. It would be useful for one person to attend this relatively soon and evaluate if it would be useful for others to attend (noting that instructor training is a prerequisite). It has a cost of $800 so we would need funding for this from ITS or other sources.

Workshop description:
This standalone, one-day training bonus module was developed in response to the growing numbers of reports we have received from Instructors who have observed frequent chatbot use among their learners.
Referring to the principles discussed in Learner-Centered Teaching and Instructor Training, participants are led by expert Trainers through a series of exercises and discussions to explore effective strategies to maximise learning in the presence of AI tools. The bonus module is perfect for anyone preparing to deliver workshops and other training to novice learners who are making regular use of chatbot tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
Previous participation in Learner-Centered Teaching or Instructor Training is a prerequisite for this bonus module.
