Encouraging Learning in the AI Age: Designing Assignments Post-ChatGPT

Encouraging Learning in the AI Age: Designing Assignments Post-ChatGPT 

Thursday April 4, 2024 from 3:00pm to 4:00pm Central/4:00pm to 5:00pm Eastern via Zoom 

Presenters: Bob Bruss (English) Sam Speckhard (Nursing) 

Description: As ChatGPT and other large language model chatbots become more prevalent, many faculty are reacting in ways both utopian (“AI will revolutionize the classroom”) and dystopian (“Students will use it to write all their work”). The truth is somewhere in the middle. Based on the work of the AI task force, this session will help faculty better understand ChatGPT and some of the opportunities and threats it presents. It will help faculty more intentionally design assignments with ChatGPT in mind, whether to encourage our students to learn how to use it effectively and ethically or to resist their ability to have it do the work for them (or both).
