Assignment 7.1 Generative Tools for Teaching and Learning

Image
 Name of application:   Runway Type of learning: Create- Students can use Runway to generate AI images Type of learning experience: Direct purposeful experiences- Students directly use Runway to create AI images for a hands-on experience.
