Description
Presenters will share research from a cross-disciplinary asynchronous "Getting Started with AI" course, which helped faculty learn about GenAI ethics, develop a course-specific policy, and design low- and high-stakes GenAI activities. This course offers one possibility for flexible professional development programming to mitigate initial anxieties around AI integration while providing all faculty an opportunity to learn about the roles GenAI can play to support learning while guiding them to apply these principles to their disciplinary and course contexts. Exemplary faculty work was showcased as part of a GenAI open access resource.
