Where to Begin with AI and Teaching?

Below are some suggested steps for exploring GenAI tools and reflecting on how to approach them in your courses. Use the linked resources to complete these steps.

  1. Read our Intro to AI & Teaching to get a sense of what GenAI is and how it works. 
  2. Explore some examples of GenAI and experiment with them.
  3. Read some example course AI policies and adapt on for your syllabus.
  4. If those examples don't work for you, design your own policy using this guide.
  5. Then, if you are interested in teaching or learning with GenAI, check out our strategies for supporting students in exploring and engaging with AI.

As always, CELT is available for one-on-one and group consultations to discuss these ideas further. Contact us here to schedule a consult.

Step 1 - Read the Introduction to AI in Teaching

Start by reading CELT's brief interactive introduction to GenAI including some important takeaways about how to approach GenAI and AI detectors as an instructor. This page also includes some interactive activities to help you learn more about GenAI.

Step 2 - Explore GenAI Examples

While ChatGPT is perhaps the most well-known text-based GenAI tool, there are many others available for use (and the numbers continue to grow). Read about some of the more notable text-based AI tools and how they differ. Spend some time experimenting with them.

Step 3 - Read AI Course Policy Examples

It is up to the instructor to decide whether student use of generative AI (GenAI) is appropriate for their courses. Regardless of whether AI use is allowed, every class syllabus should include a clear policy on AI. See some examples you can adapt here.

Step 4 - Build Your Own AI Course Policy

For instructors who prefer to design their own AI course policy, see our guide that walks you though that process. The guide offers specific questions instructors should consider.
