Wondering how to develop an AI policy for future courses? Trying to sort out potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in your teaching? How about AI detectors? Just want to find out more about AI tools and maybe start using them in your own work?
Good news! OSU has numerous resources to support instructional faculty and GTAs as you adjust to teaching and learning in this new era of ubiquitous generative AI tools.
Center for Teaching and Learning
CTL has a rich AI in Teaching and Learning Canvas site. Highlights include:
- Guidance for developing syllabus statements offers options for course-level AI policies and sample AI syllabus statements from OSU faculty
- Microsoft Copilot – OSU’s Data-Protected AI Tool provides important information to share with your students about logging into Copilot with OSU credentials to ensure data security and privacy.
- The AI on Campus podcast is a great resource to learn more about the perspectives of OSU faculty and staff, and ways they are integrating AI in their workflows.
- OSU student conduct and AI guidance gives practical advice from the Office of Student Community Standards and from College Hearing Officers
Ecampus
The Ecampus Artificial Intelligence Tools site offers guidance to faculty with a series of both new and newly updated resources. Check out:
- Bloom’s Taxonomy Revisited (Version 2.0) is a reference to prompt reflection to identify changes in learning activities and assessments to ensure meaningful learning.
- Student perceptions of AI tools offers recommendations for faculty based on a Winter 2024 survey of learners in Ecampus courses to assess student knowledge, use, and attitudes about AI tools.
- Course AI Resilience Tracker (CART) Tool is an interactive tool to evaluate and enhance the resiliency of your course in the context of generative artificial intelligence tools.
Four Key Tips for Fall Term
- Include a clear policy regarding AI use in your course syllabus.
- Discuss your AI course policy and expectations with your students in the first weeks of the term. Give students opportunities to ask questions about the policy throughout the course.
- Provide guidance on individual assignments, assessments and course activities to reinforce how your AI policy and expectations apply in each case.
- As time allows, explore generative AI tools such as Copilot. You learn AI by using AI! Build your knowledge of the potential for generative AI to enhance teaching and learning.
Check the OSU Events Calendar to find out about upcoming AI-related events for faculty and GTAs. Look for AI drop-in sessions later this fall and for an AI book group starting in January.
Contact CTL if you’d like to schedule an AI consultation for yourself, a small group, or your department.
