Description

This session will share insights from a Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning initiative designed to introduce AI tools like Google Notebook LM to professors hesitant about integrating AI into their teaching. Through workshops that combined live demonstrations, hands-on practice, and open dialogue about ethical concerns, faculty discovered practical applications for AI that aligned with their pedagogical goals. While a few faculty remained resistant, the presentation will highlight key factors that helped many overcome resistance. Session participants will leave with actionable strategies for engaging reluctant faculty in AI discussions and fostering a culture of experimentation and collaboration.
