The AI Development Accelerator (AIDA), in collaboration with the Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning, is facilitating a series of AI In-Studio Workshops. The first workshop, “Introduction to Generative AI in the BU Teaching Context,” will focus on the ethical and critical use of GenAI for teaching and learning, and will include an interactive demonstration of TerrierGPT.
The workshop will guide participants in developing AI policies for syllabi and assignments that establish clear expectations for students. It will introduce the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework, an evidence-based approach that improves student success by making explicit the purpose, tasks, and criteria for success in a course.
In the hands-on aspect, faculty will revise a major assignment to incorporate TILT principles while thoughtfully integrating AI considerations, including when AI use is permitted or prohibited and how to support ethical, productive AI engagement.
In addition, participants will have a chance to explore the new AI at BU Student Certificate course.
