Update Dec. 27, 2024: Registration for the Winter ’25 AI book club is now closed.
The integration of AI in education is not a future possibility—it’s our present reality. This shift demands more than passive acceptance or futile resistance. It requires a fundamental reimagining of how we teach, learn, and assess knowledge. As AI becomes an integral part of the educational landscape, our focus must evolve. —Ethan Mollick, One Useful Thing
The OSU Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and Ecampus invite you to register for the Winter ’25 AI book club. Participants will collaboratively annotate and discuss Ethan Mollick’s Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI, a groundbreaking 2024 volume on current and future potential impacts and risks associated with the generative AI revolution, particularly in education.
Oregon State University fixed-term and tenured/tenure-track faculty who regularly teach credit-based courses are eligible to apply, as well as OSU Graduate Teaching Assistants who regularly teach or assist with OSU courses. Participants new to using AI are welcome.
To sign up for the book club, please register now. Registration is first come, first served, and and fewer than 10 spaces remain. If available seats are taken, you will have the option to express interest in future book club opportunities.
The AI Book Club will begin during the week of January 6 and continue through the week of February 24. Participants will have access to an ebook of Co-Intelligence to read and annotate asynchronously using Perusall.
The book club will meet 4 times during Winter ’25 to discuss the book and strategies to build AI literacy and enhance teaching and learning through the use of generative AI. There will be 3 different subgroups of the book club, with 2 running in-person and 1 meeting via Zoom. On the registration form, you will have the opportunity to note your availability and preferred group(s):
- Group A: Corvallis campus meetings (LINC 345) on Mondays, noon to 1 p.m. on Jan. 13 and 27, and Feb. 10 and 24
- Group B: Zoom meetings on Tuesdays, 9 to 10 a.m., on Jan. 14 and 28, and Feb. 11 and 25
- Group C: Corvallis campus meetings (LINC 343) on Thursdays, 2 to 3 p.m. on Jan. 16 and 30, and Feb. 13 and 27
Book club participants are expected to attend all four sessions of their subgroup, and to regularly engage with the text via Perusall between sessions. The AI book club will award a digital badge to successful completers.
