Generative AI has evolved rapidly in less than a year since ChatGPT launched. It continues to pose a challenge for instructors in the classroom. Addressing the challenge means inventing ways for students to use AI as a sparring partner given how likely it is that graduates will encounter it in the workforce. Join this Community of Practice to test out your assignment makeovers, adjustments, or just meet with other faculty who want to experiment with AI in the classroom to see how you can take advantage of what it can do for you.

Identify aspects of your teaching that would benefit from using AI
Insert the application of an AI tool to help students achieve course outcomes
