What’s all the buzz about ChatGPT and other generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)? What should instructors know about the pedagogical and ethical implications of teaching with AI? How are students using AI, and what do such uses mean for our classrooms?
You are invited to join the “Teaching with AI” Canvas course (designed by Auburn University) and promoted by the Chronicle of Higher Education. CELT obtained a license for Iowa State University instructors to explore the impact of AI on teaching, learning, and course design.
About the Course
The “Teaching with AI” Canvas course includes the following modules:
- Module 1: What do I need to know about IA?
- Module 2: What are the ethical considerations of AI in our higher ed context?
- Module 3: What is learning, and how will AI tools affect the courses I teach?
- Module 4: How are students using AI tools and how can I partner with my students?
- Module 5: What do I need to rethink in terms of the exams, papers, or projects I assign?
- Module 6: How do I (re)design courses in the wake of the AI disruption?
- What other AI tools or capabilities are coming and how do I design for them?
- What conversations need to happen in my department or discipline, and what is my role?
Engagement
We are offering this course self-paced or a hybrid teaching and learning cohort:
- Self-Paced: You have until June 1, 2024, to finish all modules, which should take approximately 20 hours.
- Teaching and Learning Community Cohort: We will host two synchronous meetings during the 2023-24 academic year to foster active participation and lively discussion among the cohort. During the initial meeting, we will focus on the first four modules completed, and at the final meeting, we will discuss the rest of them.
- Cohort Meeting 1, Thursday, November 16, 2023 (2-3:30 p.m., online)
- Cohort Meeting 2, Thursday, February 29, 2024 (2-3:30 p.m., online)
It will take approximately 20 hours to complete all modules and attend the two online synchronous meetings (each meeting is 90 min long).

Research has shown that instructors want to learn from other instructors and CELT Talks is an interactive platform where instructors can do exactly this. A panel of instructors from diverse disciplines will have up to 15 minutes each to share their expertise in forums on specific topics.
Student Engagement is the teaching and learning topic this month. Participants will learn about the student engagement strategies used by Sayali Kukday (Associate Teaching Professor of Genetics, Development & Cell Biology), Chad Cardani-Trollinger (Assistant Teaching Professor in Leadership Studies) and Gabriel Rodriguez (Assistant Professor of School of Education). Participants will leave the Zoom session with the top three tips recommended for building student engagement by each instructor.

In this workshop series, participants will learn about the Miller Faculty Fellowship Program, which provides recipients with opportunities to enhance their scholarly work in the university’s undergraduate academic programs. The funded projects have had a tremendous impact on ISU student learning, innovative teaching, and programming, as well as enhancing recipients’ careers.
In this introductory session, a panel of past fellows and reviewers will share their experiences with the Miller Faculty Fellowship Program. Participants will learn from fellows how the funded research has impacted their classrooms and careers, and reviewers will share what they look for in successful proposals.
This webinar is the first session in a 3-part series designed to prepare faculty for a successful Miller Faculty Fellowship application submission. Participants may attend any or all of the series’ sessions. The series is facilitated by Sara Marcketti (CELT Director) and Paul Hengesteg (CELT Assessment Coordinator).

This workshop, the third in a series or stand-alone, brings elements of effective teaching together so faculty can organize evidence of their teaching, analyze their effectiveness, and create their teaching narrative. Participants will identify themes in their teaching feedback from themselves, peers, and students, and connect it to their teaching philosophy statement. Facilitated by Cindy Haynes (CELT Faculty Fellow) and Paul Hengesteg (CELT Assessment Coordinator) this workshop is intended to be a true “work” shop, so bring (or have access to) your documentation/evidence of teaching and a laptop. CELT will provide lunch!
Learning Goal & Objectives
In this workshop series, participants assemble a teaching portfolio, usable in promotion and tenure, awards, and annual reviews. In this session, they will:
1. Identify components of a holistic picture of teaching
2. Collect and document teaching evidence from self, peers, and students
3. Analyze teaching evidence for themes, compare with teaching statement
4. Draft their teaching narrative
