Teaching in the Age of GenAI
-
Generative Artificial Intelligence, or GenAI, has profoundly impacted how we teach and how our students learn. The issues represented by these powerful tools range from the concerning to the empowering. GenAI holds the potential to reshape not just notions of academic honesty, but even blurs the links of fact and fiction far beyond anything humans have achieved unaided. At the same time, GenAI offers efficiencies and gives teachers, scholars, and students potential agency in their endeavors in ways never thought possible.
This page is designed as a hub for evidence-based resources for instructors as they explore the ramifications of GenAI in their teaching and scholarly life.
For an overview of GenAI in academia, check out this episode of our podcast, Let's Talk Teaching.
