Generative AI in Teaching I: Literacy and Foundations

This session introduces the basics of generative AI and its implications for teaching and learning. It focuses on AI literacy by examining what these tools are, what they can and cannot do, basic prompting, ethical & responsible use, and how they may impact classroom practice. Faculty will see short demos of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and have time for Q&A.
Generative AI in Teaching II: Applied Skills and Use Cases
Tue. Nov. 11, 2025 11:30-12:30pm. WebEx or In Person
Building on Gen AI & Teaching I, this interactive session highlights applied skills and practical use cases. Faculty will practice effective prompting, explore discipline-specific scenarios, and consider assignment design strategies. Examples will touch on advanced features (custom GPTs/GEMs, Canvas Mode, Deep Research Mode, agent mode) related to teaching.
I'm Not Teaching with Generative AI, But What Do I Still Need to Know?
Tue. Dec. 2, 2025 11:30am- 12:30pm WebEx or In Person
This session highlights what faculty need to know, even if they are not adopting AI in their own teaching.
