NSF ACCESS Regional AI Workshop: Using Generative AI Effectively in Teaching and Learning

Oct 7, 2025, 8:30 AM – Oct 8, 2025, 5:00 PM

Artificial Intelligence

CELT is proud to partner with the UK Center for Computational Sciences to facilitate the education track for this NSF ACCESS sponsored introductory workshop. Across two half-day sessions we'll develop (1) GAI literacy with nuance and critical reflection, (2) practical skills attuned to educational use cases, (3) ethical inquiries for responsible implementation, and (4) plans for engagement with GAI across a variety of curricular and disciplinary settings.

AI Now and Later: What Leaders Need to Know

Sep 9, 2025, 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Artificial Intelligence

As generative AI technologies continue to develop in striking and volatile ways, leaders strive to stay current not only on AI's technical capabilities but also on the larger issues, challenges and opportunities that inform their approach to culture and strategy in their organizations. This session will address what leaders need to know about the current state and future directions of generative AI technologies as well as strategies for staying current and identifying strategic opportunities to leverage AI in productive and beneficent ways.

Communicating with Students about Generative AI

Aug 25, 2025, 3:00 – 3:30 PM

Artificial Intelligence

Supporting student learning in the age of generative AI involves establishing clear expectations and parameters around when and if GAI can be used. This short information session will share resources and strategies for communication with students about what constitutes appropriate use of GAI within the context of each course. Whether you want students to use GAI in your classes or avoid it for most assignments, this session will provide anchor points for informed conversations between students and instructors.

Designing Assignments to Mitigate or Enhance Student Use of Generative AI

Sep 22, 2025, 2:00 – 3:00 PM

Artificial Intelligence

Whether you want students to complete assignments without the help of generative AI or you want them to engage with it proficiently to build critical literacies, there are steps for assignment design and communication that can support student learning. Join us for this virtual session that consists of two parts. The first half will feature strategies that incentivize students doing their own work without the use of GAI. Part two will consider better practices for helping students use generative AI more intentionally when that is included in the learning goals.
