Teaching and AI

With tools that can write a “passable” paper, how do we adjust our assessment and teaching practices accordingly? Do we allow students to use it, and engage in discussions of how they will use it in the discipline work and careers? What authentic assessment practices keep students engaged in learning while not overburdening teachers? 

This syllabus provides some preliminary learning materials along with opportunities to discuss these topics online and on campus.

Learning Together

Teaching & AI: Learning Community and Practice Labs

Focusing on what AI means for our courses and what to do accordingly, this semester’s offerings include a Teaching & AI learning community that meets twice monthly to talk through and workshop ideas. These discussions will be complemented by e-LIS’ AI sandbox series, each session focusing on sharing one practical idea with plenty of open practice time for whatever you want to see and try.
