This learning community will provide a collaborative space to learn alongside pedagogical specialists, AI experts, and teaching colleagues from across the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The learning community will be co-facilitated by Academic Technologies and will provide ample practice in the use of generative AI tools. Participants will learn about opportunities to enhance teaching and learning with AI, while addressing AI-related concerns such as issues with academic integrity and bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI FLC is a professional development program that provides $1,000 to instructors who:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fully participate in all synchronous learning community meetings and asynchronous Canvas learning activities.\u202f&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create plans to implement strategies that address AI in teaching <strong>in an on-campus course (Corvallis or Cascades) planned for Spring or Summer \u201925.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Present their ideas, projects, or experiences about teaching with AI at the final learning community meeting (showcase).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The learning community will blend five required Zoom meetings with online learning activities in Canvas throughout the term starting Jan. 6.
