Faculty Development Academy:
Using Agentic AI and AI Agents*
Brookdale Community College | July 16-17, 2026
*This event is invite only.
Who Should Attend:
This workshop is funded and tailored specifically for community and technical college faculty members wishing to expand their knowledge, earn an industry certification, and strengthen their ability to incorporate new cybersecurity content in their community college curriculum. This workshop is invite only and is not intended for students or other non-faculty participants.
About the Workshop:
This intensive two-day workshop introduces agentic browsers—AI-powered tools that autonomously navigate, interact with, and extract information from websites on behalf of users—to cybersecurity and technology educators. Participants will explore how these intelligent agents combine large language models with browser automation to perform complex multi-step tasks such as competitive research, data gathering, form completion, and systematic web monitoring. The workshop emphasizes practical applications in education, cybersecurity training, and business contexts, with hands-on experience using leading platforms including Claude in Chrome (Anthropic), Browser Use, and other emerging agentic browser technologies. Through structured exercises, educators will learn to leverage these tools for curriculum development, threat intelligence gathering, student research scaffolding, and automated assessment workflows.
For cybersecurity educators specifically, this workshop demonstrates how agentic browsers can revolutionize security research and training methodologies. Participants will practice using these tools to automate vulnerability research across multiple vendor sites, aggregate threat intelligence from disparate sources, monitor dark web marketplaces for educational case studies, and create realistic penetration testing scenarios. Teachers will learn how to use agentic browsers in lab exercises so that students can safely learn about reconnaissance techniques, practice gathering OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), and see how automated tools can be used for both defensive security monitoring and adversarial automation. The workshop includes critical discussions on the security implications of agentic browsers, including potential misuse vectors, detection strategies, and defensive considerations.
Beyond cybersecurity applications, participants will discover how agentic browsers transform general educational practices and administrative workflows. The workshop includes real-world examples like using automated literature reviews for research, gathering job postings to match curriculum, analyzing training programs at similar schools, and keeping track of regulatory changes that impact educational technology. Educators will complete hands-on projects that include building a custom research assistant for student projects, creating automated monitoring systems for scholarship opportunities, developing comparison matrices of educational technology tools, and designing assignment workflows that leverage agentic browsing for authentic learning experiences. By workshop conclusion, participants will possess both theoretical understanding and practical skills to ethically integrate agentic browsers into their teaching, research, and administrative responsibilities.
Workshop participants are expected to actively engage in the workshop by participating in the hands-on activities and interactive discussions.
To be eligible for future funding from NCyTE, you must also complete the follow-up survey which you will receive in approximately 6 months following this training.
