AI Learning Opportunities

AI Learning Community

The Generative AI Learning Community is a space for select faculty members to explore Generative AI's potential in the classroom. 

Learning Outcomes

• Provide opportunities for learning about the latest developments and best practices in generative AI and its applications in various disciplines and domains.
• Encourage experimentation and innovation with generative AI tools and techniques to enhance teaching, learning and research outcomes.
• Facilitate dialogue and feedback among members and external experts to share experiences, challenges and insights.
• Promote ethical, responsible, and inclusive use of generative AI in education that respects the diversity, dignity, and rights of all stakeholders.
• Design and implement a Generative AI project plan that incorporates the use of AI in a course.'

Participants

Small cohorts of faculty of all backgrounds and expertise selected across application cycles. 

Participation

Biweekly online engagement in workshops, webinars, demos, discussions, projects, and showcases. Each member is expected to apply generative AI to enhance teaching outcomes and share their teaching experiences with one another. 

View Cohort 2 timeline here. 

Cohort 3 applications will open in September, 2025.
