Active Teaching Lab is a monthly professional development forum where UWM instructors and staff collaborate to explore practical teaching innovations, currently focusing heavily on the integration of Artificial Intelligence. Held on the first Wednesday of each month, the sessions feature peer-led presentations that prioritize authentic experience over polished expertise, asking presenters to candidly share "what worked, what was hard, and what they’d do differently.”

    What's New in AI: The Great Shift

    If you are still thinking of AI as a text generator or a clever search engine, you are looking at 2024. In our latest Active Teaching Lab, David Delgado shares how AI is quickly becoming the infrastructure for how we do work. We are entering an age of "Agentic Labor," where tools like "OpenClaw" and "Claude Code" execute complex plans over days rather than just generating single assets. This fundamental shift means students must learn to manage a "fleet" of AI agents, and makes quality assurance (QA) of complex AI output the new essential hard skill for employability. In addition, we explored a number of AI tools available on campus. David demonstrated the massive improvement in AI-generated imagery within ChatGPT, using "two-shot prompting" to create consistent characters and editable infographics. We also reviewed Adobe Firefly for creative work, Zoom AI Companion for private meeting summaries , and GPT4ALL (available in the Software Center) for offline, secure data analysis. Finally, check your Canvas settings for new experimental features like automated rubrics and discussion summaries. This episode was created entirely by Notebook LM using session transcripts from the 11 February 2026 session of Active Teaching Lab held at UW-Milwaukee. This is for demonstrative purposes only. Okay, it's also a fun way to consume the content.
