AI-Enhanced Community-Engaged Learning: Equipping Ethical, Future-Ready Professionals
This interactive workshop introduces AI-CEL (AI-Enhanced Community-Engaged Learning) as a high-impact framework that prepares students to thrive amid disruption through ethical AI use, civic identity development, and adaptive learning. Structured as a transformational learning experience, the session guides participants through two rounds of small-group dialogue, before and after experiencing AI-powered coaching prompts. This reflective arc reveals how introspection enhances presence, shifts group dynamics, and fosters deeper civic dialogue.
AI-CEL equips learners to flourish in an era of fragmentation, where civic clarity, reflective leadership, and ethical discernment are essential to making meaning in a rapidly evolving landscape. Together, we explore how ethical use of AI can amplify human connection and build adaptive capacity for navigating complexity.
