How-to network

Make the most of our events with these helpful tips.

Networking starts before the actual meeting.

Connect with people to learn others credentialing experiences.

Don't know what to say? Asking someone about their work, career path, or whether they have attended CNG meetings in the past.

Ask people what challenges they are trying to solve and connect them to the people with the answers.

You're passionate about what you do, let others know.

Have them readily available when you arrive. Otherwise, make your own at home or share it via NameDrop.

Fully engage in the conversation you're in. No need to look for the next (or better) person to talk.

Newer to networking and the industry? Attend with the goal of making personal connections/relationships.

Your uniqueness is welcomed and appreciated.

    Description:

    Please join us on November 5th. Our speakers will demonstrate the use of AI (LLMs) with case examples and share the logic, queries, and rules. You will find out how LLMs (AI) are being used to:

    1. Monitor changes (new developments) in domains on which a global certifications are based with the goal of being prepared to modify standards, so they remain current, and
    2. Create instructional elements such as good and bad examples with commentary, performance support tools, case studies that are guided walk-throughs, and formative (with feedback), evaluations with the goal to improve the instructional integrity of a certificate program, confirm course content is accurate and aligned with course objectives, and formative and summative evaluations are included.

    You will hear how they wrestled with the challenge of designing assessments that measure problem solving, hands-on skills, and domain knowledge and the insight they gained. You will receive job-aids and performance guides you can use when developing assessments.

    Learning Objectives: To facilitate discussions about using AI to:

    1. Maintain the relevance of domain knowledge by periodic data scraping.
    2. Improve the integrity of your instruction by generating:
      1. Good and bad examples with rationale.
      2. Guided demonstrations.
      3. Formative tests.
