Generative Artificial Intelligence Learning Community

Computer screen

This learning community will span the 2025 calendar year. Its focus will be to help faculty develop their own understanding of and uses for Gen AI, in addition to developing their skills to provide leadership on this topic in their respective departments and disciplines.

We will spend the winter semester engaged in building participants’ skills with Gen AI and preparing participants to provide support within their departments. We also hope to develop resources and possible principles and guidance around effective uses of Gen AI in teaching and learning.

In the fall semester, participants from the learning community will work with faculty colleagues in their schools, departments, and disciplines in a variety of ways. We anticipate that participants will field questions about and support colleagues in developing syllabus language and course policies. We also anticipate that participants will assist colleagues with developing course assignments and activities. The time we spend in the winter semester will prepare and position participants in the learning community to be advocates and advisors for their colleagues.
