Understanding the basic functions of large language models (LLMs) is essential for successfully navigating teaching and learning in the AI age. Considering how AI works can help inform your own teaching practices, assignment design, and how you coach students to use (or not use) the tools ethically and responsibly. Join us for this session to learn how AI tools are trained, how they use information, and what we as users should have in mind when we interact with their outputs.

Perhaps the single most important step instructors can take to set students up for success for using AI ethically and responsibly for teaching and learning is through thoughtful and collaborative communication. Communicating expectations about AI use (or lack thereof) requires extensive reflection with your course materials in mind. This session will provide useful tools for fostering transparency and trust around AI use in teaching and learning while also inviting students into conversation with you and each other.
