Faculty Learning Community on Exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Teaching & Learning

This FLC takes as a starting point that generative artificial intelligence (genAI) presents a myriad of challenges and opportunities in higher education that are not yet well understood. And further, that colleges and universities have not reached any consensus about how and where genAI may fit in the higher ed landscape. Members of this FLC will have the opportunity to explore, review, and discuss emerging research, examine and critique uses of genAI tools / resources for education and research, and collectively consider potential implications for teaching and learning at Humboldt

  • 4 weeks
