- Date: 28 September 2026
- Time: 10:00–12:00 CET
Workshop description:
This hands-on workshop explores how Microsoft 365 Copilot can support you with everyday teaching tasks. Participants will explore practical ways to create learning activities, quizzes and assessments as well as adapt AI-generated content to students’ needs and intended learning outcomes.
We will explore Teach in Copilot and the Microsoft Learning Activities platform and consider how these tools can support the preparation of teaching and learning resources. Participants will also learn how to build personal Copilot assistants to use for specific teaching tasks and recurring workflows.
Throughout the workshop, the emphasis will be on practical experimentation and evaluating the usefulness of AI-generated materials. Participants will have the opportunity to work with materials from their own courses, although bringing personal teaching materials is optional.
To make the most of the workshop, participants are encouraged to:
- prepare course materials in Word, PDF, PowerPoint or a similar text-based format to use during the practical activities; and
- identify a recurring or routine work task they would like to support with a personal Copilot assistant.
