AI Teaching Showcase
Ecampus and CTL are hosting a winter AI showcase to highlight ideas and exemplars about how to address AI in courses across modalities. Five faculty will share their techniques for integration of generative AI in on-campus and online teaching. They will demonstrate ways that students are developing a critical understanding of how AI poses both opportunities and challenges for learning, and how thoughtfully designed assignments can guide students toward the appropriate use of AI tools to support learning goals.
Speakers will include Kristy Kelly and Todd Kesterson from the College of Liberal Arts, Doug Reese from the College of Agricultural Sciences, Park Muhonda from CEOAS, and Karen Elliott from the College of Health.
