Integrating AI into your assignments and exploring the pedagogical implications

Overview

Curious about how to apply generative AI (GenAI) in your upcoming courses? Join us for a week-long short course with asynchronous activities and a synchronous session. You will be introduced to the basics of GenAI through readings and presentations delivered asynchronously. Prework includes creating or reimagining an assignment for your course and determining under what circumstances GenAI may be used. Building on the decisions you make, you will create a statement that explains your GenAI use policy for the assignment. This work will provide the foundation for small group discussion during the synchronous session. Upon completion of this short course, participants should have the outline of an assignment that uses GenAI and a statement that explains the use of GenAI to share with students. 

Topics

• Create or reimagine an assignment or project that uses generative AI.
• Make decisions about when/under what circumstances generative AI is appropriately used to complete this assignment or project.
• Generate a statement explaining your generative AI policy for this assignment or project and its principles to students. 

Schedule

• Register by February 12, 2025  in order to allow time to complete the asynchronous work.
• Jan 15 - Feb 12: Complete pre-work including a confidence level survey and an assignment in which you identify an assignment/project from your Spring 2025 course and determine under what circumstances GenAI may be used (allow 3 - 4 hours). 
• By February 14: Submit your assignment in order to get access to the synchronous Zoom session.  
• February 20: Attend synchronous Zoom session from 9:30-11:00am and complete follow-up confidence level survey (1.5 hours).
