Teaching with AI: Seizing Opportunities and Navigating Challenges
The Learning, Innovation, and Faculty Engagement team is pleased to introduce this asynchronous self-paced course aimed at equipping faculty with the essential knowledge and practical tools for integrating generative AI into educational settings.
We're currently working to enrich Module 2 of this course by incorporating more student voices. To do this, we’re inviting faculty to share the following anonymous survey with their students:
We're also creating a Faculty Case Study Library to showcase how instructors across disciplines at UM are integrating AI into their teaching. This resource will highlight diverse AI use cases and serve as a practical guide for faculty looking to explore AI integration in their courses:
If faculty in your network are interested in hearing preliminary results from the student survey and participating in a roundtable discussion with students on the impacts of AI in education, we invite them to join The AI Teaching Exchange session on Wednesday, April 16, at 1:45 PM. Click here to register. |
