Sessions we run

Practical topics, one a month.

Each session is live, hands-on, and built for higher ed. Here’s the kind of thing we cover.

Tools

Today’s AI Landscape: OpenAI, Claude, and Claude Code

A grounded tour of the AI tools your team is actually hearing about, what each is good at, where they overlap, and how to think about them at an institutional level.

Tools

Free vs Paid AI Tools: What’s Worth Paying For

We compare the free and paid tiers of the tools your staff already use, and show, with real examples, where the paid versions earn the spend and where free is enough.

Hands-on

Getting the Most Out of Microsoft Copilot

Most institutions already have Copilot in their Microsoft 365 tenant. We walk through real, role-based ways staff can use it in Word, Outlook, Teams, and Excel to claw back hours.

Skills

Use AI Tools Like an AI Expert

Most staff use AI as a glorified search box. This session covers the workflows and chained interactions that turn AI from a one-shot helper into a real thinking partner.

Skills

Better Prompts, Better Results

A working session on the prompt patterns that consistently produce better output: structure, role priming, examples, constraints, and iteration. Bring real tasks.

Leadership

AI for Higher-Ed Leaders: Where to Start

A grounded executive briefing for cabinets, presidents, and trustees: where to focus, what to defer, and what governance moves to make in the first 90 days.
