Teaching With, Against and Around AI: Pedagogical Strategies for Faculty
- Friday, November 6
- 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
- Goodall Room, Newman Library
How do we teach well when AI is everywhere? Join us as we review current AI capabilities while focusing on what matters most: our pedagogical goals and student learning. We'll move beyond reactive fixes ("How do I prevent ChatGPT on this assignment?") to intentional pedagogical design. Together, we'll explore:
- When AI tools genuinely support our learning objectives—and when they undermine them
- How to make purposeful choices about integrating, limiting, or reimagining assignments
- Strategies that center human connection, critical thinking, and meaningful learning
This isn't about either policing AI or adopting every new tool. It's about reclaiming pedagogical agency in a rapidly shifting landscape and making choices aligned with our teaching values and our students' growth.
