We'll Explore How to Make AI a Better Learning Tool
Retire the prompt-sized assignment
If an essay, take-home, or case write-up can be finished by pasting it into a chatbot, it no longer proves learning. The answer isn't better detection software. It's changing what students produce.
Trade the lecture for the critique
Students research, present, demonstrate, defend, and critique. They compare prompts, failures, and hallucinations until the class owns its own best practice. “AI gave me something” is not “I have something good.”
Have them build something real
Students can now go from idea to working product in a single semester, no engineering courses required. Showcase it science-fair style and they leave with the start of a GitHub portfolio.
Here's What's In It For You
Sixty minutes with John Gallaugher: practical classroom design first, then a deeper look at Information Systems and AI v12.0.
Why answers alone no longer prove learning
AI can hand any student a polished answer. Hear how John shifts assignments from answers to evidence, so the inputs, edits, and decisions behind every submission become visible.
How to make AI use visible in your next class
Take home the Verify-It Sprint: generate, verify independently, explain what changed. Then add four reflection questions that fit nearly any assignment, straight from John's own classroom.
See the cases rebuilt for the generative wave
Zara, Netflix, Amazon, Shein & Temu re-examined under an AI stress test, plus what data readiness really takes: RAG, vector databases, and moving students beyond prompting.
Leave with a lab your students can run
Preview the hands-on AI lab from Appendix B of v12.0, publishing November 2026: Blind Taste Test, Build a RAG & Try to Make It Lie, and Build a Campus Bot.
Your host
“Students who build something are incandescent with an opportunity to share it.”
John Gallaugher teaches business and technology at Boston College's Carroll School of Management and writes Information Systems and AI, now in its 12th edition. He has spent decades turning management students into founders. Several have raised millions and built centimillion-dollar companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a cost to attend?
No. The workshop is free, and no textbook adoption is required to attend.
Will the session be recorded?
Yes. Registrants will receive access to the recording within 2 weeks of the conclusion of the workshop.
Do I need to be using AI tools already?
No. The session starts from course design rather than tools.
Is this only for Information Systems instructors?
Mostly, yes. However, Part I applies to just about any course. In part II, Professor Gallaugher will dive much deeper into Information Systems and AI v12.0, which will be publishing in November 2026, for those who want a closer look.
