The Future of Faculty Support: AI Integration to Enhance Teaching and Learning (L, S)

If you have been working in higher education for even a year, you will have heard two familiar and sometimes scary words, artificial intelligence (AI). The Office of Online Learning decided to make it our mission to remove the scary part of AI out of the equation and, instead, focus on making instructors familiar and comfortable with using AI. We did this by integrating AI tools into our Quality Course Review Certification program and our OER training. Instructors are guided through the process of using AI tools to create and align learning objectives, assignments, and rubrics as well as locate relevant open educational resources for their courses. The goal of this session is to help instructors become more comfortable using AI as a positive tool to aid in teaching and learning. Faculty do not need to bring anything to the workshop; however, they should be prepared to create an account with an AI tool in order to practice prompt creation and AI tool implementation.
