SUMMARY:📝 The Language of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Join the AI Task Force for a special one-hour event!\nDecode AI Writing Patterns & Enhance Your Detection Skills\nLearn to Recognize\, Respond to\, and Refine AI-Generated Text \nAfter attending this meeting\, you will be able to recognize common patterns in AI-generated writing. We will look at why certain AI writing habits make text less convincing\, even when the grammar is correct. Examples include overused phrases like “delve into” or “it’s important to note.” We will also examine constructions\, like rhetorical contrasts such as “not only… but also”\, that are often used in AI-generated text. Participants will learn to spot these patterns in student work. We will discuss how to give better feedback when we see AI-influenced writing. The workshop will also cover how to use AI tools more effectively in our own work. We can improve our writing by recognizing and avoiding these formulaic styles.  \n📅 Date: Monday\, December 1\, 2025\n🕐 Time: 2:00 PM (1 hour) via Zoom\n👥 Who Should Attend: NECC Faculty & Staff\n🔗 Register Now: Registration Link\n📧 Questions?

SUMMARY:🤖 The Basics of AI Using Microsoft Copilot
DESCRIPTION:Transform Your Work with AI – No Experience Required!\nLearn AI Fundamentals & Practical Skills in Just One Hour\nThis one-hour workshop introduces NECC faculty and staff to the basics of AI using Microsoft Copilot\, a free tool that can streamline everyday work tasks. Participants will learn what AI actually is\, dispel common misconceptions\, and discover how to write effective prompts that yield useful results. Through hands-on practice\, attendees will explore practical applications including drafting emails\, creating teaching materials\, generating rubrics\, and building PowerPoint outlines. The workshop emphasizes that AI is a tool requiring human guidance\, not a replacement for professional judgment\, and provides techniques for iterative refinement of AI-generated content. Led by NECC’s AI Task Force\, this session offers practical skills you can use immediately while contributing to the college’s broader AI policy development. \n  \n📍 Location: Haverhill campus\, Room C206 – Space is limited – more days and times will be offered!\n👥 Who Should Attend: All NECC Faculty & Staff\n🔗 Register Now: Registration Link \n📧 Questions?
