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

Jan 5, 2024, 1:00 – 2:00 PM

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.

CELT releases AI Resources for Instructors

Jill Abney Aug 18, 2023

As the start of the fall semester nears and instructors make final preparations for their courses, there may be lingering questions about how to best address Generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, in the context of teaching and learning. The Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching (CELT), based on their work with instructors and staff across campus, has developed a suite of resources for teaching with AI, specifically targeting issues most pressing as we start the semester.

GenAI Guided "Play" Session

Aug 28, 2023, 12:00 – 12:50 PM

This in-person, hands-on session is for instructors interested in exploring potential uses of AI in the context of teaching and learning. Participants should establish a free account with one text-based GenAI tool (i.e, ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Bard) before coming to the session and bring a device so they can participate. CELT staff will provide example prompts and activities for instructors to use to explore the tool's functionalities.

Designing Assignments with Generative AI in Mind

Sep 20, 2023, 3:00 – 3:50 PM

With the proliferation of Generative AI tools capable of generating text, code, images, and other outputs, instructors continue to explore ways of leveraging these tools to enhance learning while also providing appropriate guardrails for responsible student use. During this in-person workshop, we will consider ideas for using AI within your assignments. We will also discuss strategies for clarifying appropriate use of AI to our students within assignment descriptions.
