Program Outline

Getting Our Bearings

  • What is generative AI, and what are its current capabilities?
  • How are people using AI to change the practice of / within my discipline?
  • How are people using AI to change the jobs my students might take?
  • How are people using AI to change society more broadly?
  • How are Marshall students currently using AI?
  • Artifact: Personal statement on how AI will change your discipline and the future of work related to your discipline over the next 3 – 5 years.

Deciding What Matters

  • What are the current learning outcomes of my course?
  • Which learning outcomes need to be revised, dropped, or added in response to the ways my discipline, related employment opportunities, and society are being changed with generative AI?
  • What learning outcomes need to be protected and defended in response to the ways my discipline, related employment opportunities, and society are being changed with generative AI?
  • Artifact: Updated list of course learning outcomes.

Designing, Collecting, and Evaluating Evidence

  • Given that students have broad access to generative AI, what evidence could I collect from students that would persuade me that they have achieved each learning outcome?
  • How might I be able to use generative AI in novel ways to design, collect, or evaluate this evidence?
  • How does my access to generative AI tools make the design, collection, or evaluation of new forms of evidence possible?
  • How does my access to generative AI tools make the design, collection, or evaluation of previously impractical forms of evidence possible?
  • Artifact: Updated assessment plan with evidence aligned with each learning outcome, and at least one updated assessment.

Designing Learning Activities

  • How might student access to generative AI positively change the way they engage in the learning activities currently in my course (e.g., reading a text, watching a video, reviewing flashcards)?
  • How might student access to generative AI make previously impractical learning activities possible (e.g., custom simulations for each student)?
  • How might student access to generative AI help them engage in more evidence-based studying (e.g., retrieval practice, spaced rehearsal)?
  • Artifact: Updated learning activities plan with activities aligned with each learning outcome, and at least one updated learning activity.

Synthesis

  • Update your course syllabus to include the redesigned outcomes, assessments, and learning activities
  • Artifact: Updated syllabus

Reflection

  • What have I learned about generative AI in my discipline?
  • What have I learned about generative AI in the jobs related to my discipline?
  • What have I learned about teaching and learning?
  • What redesign decisions am I most and least confident about?
  • What did I learn from the other Faculty AI Transformation Fellows?
  • What work am I most proud of?
  • How has my thinking changed over the course of the program?
  • Artifact: Updated Personal Statement
  • Artifact: Final Reflection

Portfolio and Presentation
