From classroom creativity to career readiness, see how generative AI is transforming teaching and learning at UT San Antonio and beyond.

Last year, UT San Antonio and Swinburne University of Technology launched the inaugural Global Community of Practice on Generative AI, where faculty explored how AI is reshaping teaching and learning.

We’re excited to invite you to the Second Global CoP, focusing on Industry Readiness with Generative AI—how higher education and industry leaders are preparing students for the future of work.
“Generative AI isn’t about replacing creativity—it’s about expanding the tools we have to express ourselves and prepare students for new opportunities in their fields.”
— Drew Stephen, Professor of Music
