CETL invites you to join our AI Professional Learning Series, a four‑session series designed to explore how artificial intelligence is shaping teaching and learning and to offer practical strategies for engaging with this rapidly evolving technology. The series features discussion with AI experts as well as perspectives from both enthusiastic adopters and thoughtful skeptics, allowing participants to examine the opportunities and challenges AI presents for higher education. This monthly series will be delivered via Zoom.
The latest frontier “thinking models” can apparently begin to match the reasoning performance of humans. We will do a technical deep dive on the likely underpinnings of the latest generation of frontier reasoning models, including OpenAI’s o1 and o3. We will discuss and implement in Python a simple LLM that uses self-taught reasoning (STR) and Q-learning at both training and inference.
