Artificial Intelligence and Teaching in Higher Education Series – Fall 2024

CITL will provide a variety of ways for  faculty to learn about using generative AI to support their teaching. This learning series will include interactive workshops, applied course design sessions, and community discussions. Faculty can participate in one or all of these events. Fogler library will offer additional workshops on generative AI, including prompt engineering and citing AI. 

By participating in this series you will:

  • Identify ways in which AI will impact your discipline and those who work in it.
  • Develop a philosophy on the use of AI in teaching and learning, and a strategy for sharing this with your students. 
  • Reflect on barriers or concerns associated with the use of AI and develop a manageable strategy for incorporating it into teaching and learning. 
  • Design mechanism for guiding students to use AI as a learning aid (personalized learning, chatbots)
  • Revise course outcomes, assessments, and learning activities in light of AI

WORKSHOPS

We have designed these workshops first and foremost as a learning community. Register for one or all of the topics! These programs will provide actionable ways to consider generative AI and your students’ learning through of a combination of activities, small group work, examples, case study and discussion. Participants should have some familiarity with using large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) and an interest in considering its impact on teaching and learning.  We will ask participants to do a small amount of prep work prior to the meetings.

No longer accepting registrations.

Topics

All workshops will be held on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:00pm.

September 10: The status of ChatGPT and AI right now.

September 24: AI and your discipline – prepare your students to succeed.

October 8: Determine your AI philosophy & put it in your syllabus.

October 22: Where do I start? Use AI to reclaim your time. 

November 5: Generate explicit AI guidelines for assignments.

November 19: Guide students in the use of AI to help them learn. 

December 3: Design your own a classbot or virtual TA.

Eligible participants who do engage in >5 of the workshops throughout the semester will receive a modest stipend. Due to the dynamic nature of this topic, workshop subjects may change,

COURSE DESIGN SESSIONS

Dedicate time to work on designing course elements in light of the workshop series. Work alongside colleagues and CITL Instructional Design staff to make changes to upcoming courses. These sessions are scheduled to allow for those attending the workshops to easily participate.  Drop-in attendees are welcome.

Goals

All course design sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:30pm.

October 1: Re-evaluate your course learning outcomes in light of generative AI

November 12: Re-evaluate your assessment approaches in light of generative AI

December 10: Re-evaluate your learning activities in light of generative AI

Community Discussions

CITL, in partnership with other interested stakeholders, will bring a second series of community discussions around the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education. Topic such as faculty fears around using AI, how AI may force a shift pedagogical practices, how student use of AI is changing our teaching, end the ethics of AI are all being considered. We would love to include you! If you are interested in sharing your stories and being apart of these discussion, let us know .
