AI in Athletic Training: Navigating the New Frontier of Technological Advancement

Only available as part of a package

Abstract:
The objective of this lecture is to delve into the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in augmenting the capabilities of athletic training educators and fostering student success, all while maintaining academic integrity. It aims to pinpoint growth opportunities within AI that can be utilized to empower educators and cultivate a vibrant and innovative learning environment for students, particularly for high-stakes assignments. The need for this exploration is driven by the current novelty of generative AI in education, athletic training practice and health care, where the full potential of AI is yet to be harnessed. The lecture has a dual purpose: to illuminate the potential applications of AI in athletic training education for attendees and advocate for a thoughtful and ethical approach to its integration into programs. The final aim is designed to start equipping attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to address potential gaps in both educators and students’ needs. Recognizing the importance of understanding the appropriate and potential misuses of AI in the classroom, this lecture will also delve into the ethical considerations associated with AI usage in education.

Learning Objectives:

  • List the key areas where AI can enhance the role of athletic training educators and promote student success. 
  • Explain the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in the classroom.
  • Apply the knowledge of AI to identify potential areas of growth within their own teaching practice.
  • Analyze the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI in athletic training education.
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of AI applications in their own teaching practice and make necessary adjustments for improvement.
