The Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning takes an active role in fostering a culture of innovation and embracing the transformative power of artificial intelligence. We believe it is important to envision a future where we can leverage advancements in technology to make education more accessible, affordable and rewarding.
We are also actively reviewing the role that third party generative AI tools, such as Chat GPT, play at BU, and how we can safely use AI to support faculty, staff and students in enhancing their work. We will continue to convene faculty and leaders on this work, and we will provide updated resources and tools to help inform teaching and learning in the age of AI.
