Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves in all aspects of our lives. UNCG’s inaugural “AI Institute: Educate, Innovate, Iterate” kickoff on May 6 aims to empower instructors to reflect critically on the opportunities and limitations of this evolving technology, effectively integrate Generative AI into teaching and learning practices, and promote student success in an AI-enabled world. Hosted by the University Teaching and Learning Commons, this institute is made possible by the contributions of faculty and staff from around campus who are dedicated to the responsible incorporation of Generative Artificial Intelligence for the advancement of teaching, learning, and student success.
The institute will kick off on with a keynote address on “Reimagining Higher Education with Artificial Intelligence” by Harvard University’s Dr. Chris Dede. Through a variety of engaging session formats and hands-on learning opportunities, participants will convene as a community of educators to address questions such as:
- What is Generative AI and what are its opportunities and limitations?
- What are the ethical considerations of Generative AI and how can it be used responsibly in higher education?
- How can Generative AI be effectively utilized to support teaching and learning and integrated into the curriculum?
The institute is free and open to all educators at UNCG regardless of rank, discipline, or prior experience using Generative AI tools. Administrators, faculty, staff, and GTAs wanting to know more about applications of Generative AI to support teaching and learning are all welcome to attend! The registration form is available here.
