The purpose of this presentation is to discuss what it means when we say ‘ humanizing of online teaching and learning’ and contrast it with the current use and application of Artificial Intelligence in teaching and learning. This interactive presentation will create participant opportunities to engage with the presenter synchronously as well as asynchronously to create a checklist of best practices in humanizing online teaching and learning as well as enlist any challenges currently faced or emerging in the current era of Artificial Intelligence usage in teaching and learning. Participants will leave with a better understanding of engaging teaching practices for student success in the online environment.
