Before You Attend:
To ensure you get the most out of this session, we encourage all attendees to sign up for a Versa account prior to the event. Versa is our interactive platform, which we will use during the workshop to demonstrate real-time applications of generative AI in education. By creating an account, you'll be able to follow along and actively participate in the demonstrations.
Steps to Get Started with Versa:
-
Sign up for Versa: Please complete the sign-up form to register your interest in using Versa.
-
Complete the Training: Once registered, you will find a 10-minute Introduction to the Versa training module. This training is crucial as it will help you understand the platform’s functionality and features, and we highly recommend completing it before the workshop to make the most of the session.

Participate Actively: During the workshop, we will have several interactive segments where you can apply what you’ve learned directly in Versa. This hands-on experience is designed to enhance your understanding and confidence in using AI tools for education.
