Scite AI Demonstration: Generative AI Research Assistant

Over the past year, the UK Libraries have been looking into a few different AI tools and resources. One of those is Scite AI, which is a tool designed to help researchers, faculty, staff, and students evaluate the credibility and impact of research articles. In partnership with CELT, UK Libraries are hosting a Zoom-based demo of Scite.

Aligning Classroom use of AI with your Discipline and Instructional Goals

As generative AI technology evolves, it can be tempting to incorporate it into our classes simply for the novelty. However, the most effective use of AI in teaching and learning occurs when the use aligns with the core principles of our disciplines and the learning objectives of our courses. Join us to explore strategies for integrating AI in your teaching in a way that supports your disciplinary goals and enhances student learning.

Enhancing your AI skills for Teaching

There is no instruction manual for knowing all there is to know about generative AI. But instructors can incorporate certain practices in their experimentation to upskill their use of AI for teaching and learning. Join us for an interactive session that invites educators to build your skills in using AI for teaching.

Teaching Students to be Skilled Users of AI

The task of teaching students to be discerning, thoughtful users of generative AI can feel daunting, especially when we ourselves are not experts. This workshop will explore strategies for teaching students to become skilled users of AI in academic and professional settings. We will consider methods for fostering critical thinking and ethical awareness of the use of AI tools through interactive discussion and demonstrations.

Explore AI for Designing Instructional Materials

Are you curious about how Generative AI can assist with designing and building out various components of your courses? During this session, we will explore Generative AI's capabilities for refining syllabi language, creating practice problems, generating images, providing alt text for images to improve accessibility, and more.

GenAI as Teaching Assistant

If you are curious about how Generative AI could assist you within your course, then this session is for you. When you are designing and building out various components of your course, Generative AI might be well positioned to assist you over the summer as you prepare for fall. During this semester, my students have been leveraging AI to help them develop a learning module in their field and we will share our lessons learned. Plus, you will also be given opportunities to explore a variety of tools during the session.

Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Design Lab

This session is a continuation of the workshop series exploring assignment design with AI in mind. Attendees should bring an existing assignment to the session to share. During this session, we will collaborate with one another to craft a transparent assignment that includes how Generative AI may be used by students.

Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Hands-on Exploration

This in-person exploratory session is designed to support instructors who are interested in how GenAI can contribute to learning in their classes. We invite participants to bring an existing assignment or assignment idea to actively consider possibilities for incorporating AI. This session will be participant-driven and make space for guided first-hand experience with popular AI tools. Please bring a device (laptop or tablet) and an assignment to the session. We will be primarily exploring tools that are either free or accessible to UK faculty, staff, and students.

Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Info Session

In a short period of time, GenAI tools have developed numerous useful capabilities for learning. Instructors looking to leverage these tools to enhance learning while also deciding when and how to limit their use will find relevant tips in this session. During this information session, we will consider uses of AI in assignments and necessary modifications to assignment descriptions to clarify AI-related expectations to students.

Generative AI in 2024: Updates and Discussions for a New Year

Generative AI continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Over the past year (and some change), we have learned about this new technology and refined our pedagogical approaches to account for its presence in the educational professional landscape. During this virtual session, CELT leadership will review recent developments in both the technology and the issues surrounding it in connection with teaching and learning. We will then open into a discussion with a focus on preparing for teaching during the spring 2024 semester.
