Learning to Teach Creative Technologies with Generative AI: 2025 Virtual UnSymposium was hosted by Integrated Design and Media (IDM) at NYU Tandon on Friday, January 17, 2025 • 8:45am – 4:45pm EST.
Please visit the Schedule At A Glance or Detailed Schedule for the schedule, talk descriptions, and speaker details.
This event welcomed educators from higher education, K-12, and non-profits to explore the impact of generative AI on teaching and learning at the intersections of media, design, art, and technology. Building on our January 2024 virtual gathering, we reflected on what has worked, what hasn’t, and the opportunities and challenges that still lie ahead in this ever-evolving generative AI landscape, together.
Nineteen educators across international universities, colleges, and non-profits such as Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), New York University (NYU Grossman School of Medicine, NYU Integrated Design & Media (IDM), NYU Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), and NYU Shanghai), Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD), Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Sonic Cyberfeminism Network, Toronto Metropolitan University, Universidad de los Andes, University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), University of Chicago, University of San Francisco, and York College, CUNY, gave 15-minute, case-study presentations about generative AI use in their classrooms.
