Fall Into AI

How do we harness generative AI to elevate, not replace, teaching and learning? This talk surveys current, evidence-informed uses of AI in classrooms and then gets hands-on with faculty-ready workflows. We’ll look at classroom assistants and virtual tutors, AI-supported assessment and feedback, and ways to weave AI literacy into the curriculum. Concrete demos include drafting new lectures, mapping a literature review to course modules, building quick simulations/visuals for lectures, and auditing assessment quality—complete with guardrails for verification, privacy, and ethics. Attendees will leave with practical prompts, templates, and adoption checklists they can use in their next course offering.

This hybrid presentation will take place on Friday, October 17 at 1 pm in CITL’s Innovation Studio (Armory 172) and on Zoom. No registration is required.
