Generative AI Essentials for kAIties Course
This course provides St. Kate’s faculty and staff with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to engage with the increasingly prevalent role of AI in higher education. Participants will explore core concepts and functionality, including practical applications in administrative tasks, course development and execution, and student support, as well as ethical considerations and implications for teaching, research, and academic integrity.
The course is asynchronous and self-paced, and should take approximately 2-3 hours, depending on your background and prior experience with generative AI. You do not have to complete the course in one session.
AI in Teaching & Learning Workshops
This bi-weekly lunch-hour series is designed to help St. Kate’s faculty and staff explore AI’s impact on teaching, learning, and research.
Our goals are to:
- Demystify AI and its educational applications.
- Provide hands-on opportunities to experiment with AI tools.
- Explore teaching strategies that foster learning and critical thinking in the era of AI.
- Share concerns and practical solutions around academic integrity.
- Discuss how to prepare students for an AI-integrated future in their disciplines.
There is a companion Canvas site that provides information about past and future workshops, recordings, and many additional resources on AI in education. We recommend faculty self-enroll in the course to receive periodic announcements, emails, and participate in discussions.
