Are you curious about how artificial intelligence is transforming higher education, and wondering how to navigate this new landscape with your students? Join us for a three-day, hands-on workshop that will guide you through redesigning course activities and materials to be effective in our higher ed environment where students have access to generative AI tools. 

Workshop Overview

This workshop will start by exploring AI capabilities through hands-on testing of your own class activities. Through collaboration with colleagues from across disciplines, you'll then redesign assignments to be meaningful and rigorous while utilizing AI. By our final day together, you'll draft a personalized action plan and adapt your syllabus and other materials to support implementing these changes in your upcoming courses. Lunch and/or refreshments will be provided each day.

Each participant will leave with:

  • At least one redesigned assignment/assessment that intentionally integrates AI
  • A revised syllabus with clear AI policy language
  • Introduction slides to discuss responsible AI use with your students
  • A comprehensive personal action plan for AI integration
  • Study implementation materials for your course
  • Membership in an ongoing community of practice focused on AI in teaching

Who Should Attend

This workshop is ideal for faculty members from all disciplines who want to move beyond basic AI awareness toward strategic implementation of AI as a student learning tool. Whether you're AI-curious or already experimenting with these tools, you'll benefit from this structured approach to integrating AI into your teaching philosophy and practice. 

Application

Space is limited to 25 participants. Priority will be given to applicants with actionable plans for incorporating an assignment utilizing AI in a Fall 2025 course. Additional considerations may include selecting faculty from across disciplines and role, as well as alignment to the workshop goals. Participants will also contribute to research examining student perceptions of AI use in the classroom during their Fall 2025 course.
