Welcome
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming higher education, creating new opportunities and challenges for teaching, learning, assessment, research, and student success. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is committed to helping navigate this evolving landscape with confidence, curiosity, and integrity.
This resource hub is designed to support the thoughtful, ethical, and effective use of AI in educational settings. Whether you are exploring generative AI tools for the first time, redesigning assignments to promote authentic learning, developing course policies, or integrating AI into your teaching practice, you will find resources, guidance, and professional development opportunities to support your work.
Our Approach
The CTL encourages an approach to AI that is:
- Student-Centered – Focused on enhancing learning, engagement, and success.
- Ethical and Responsible – Guided by academic integrity, privacy, transparency, and equity.
- Innovative – Exploring new possibilities for teaching, scholarship, and creativity.
- Evidence-Informed – Grounded in emerging research and best practices.

- Abstract: How can AI move from a “shortcut” to a “scaffold”? Marshall Online leverages the Blackboard AI Conversation tool to bridge the gap between digital isolation and professional readiness. This HyFlex session demonstrates how AI Role-play humanizes the student entry point through our Undergraduate Online Orientation module, “Finding Your Why with AI,” where an AI coach helps students uncover intrinsic motivators. Furthermore, we showcase how this same tool builds professional resilience through high-stakes career simulations, allowing students to practice “difficult” professional communications in a safe, repeatable environment. Join us to explore how AI role-play fosters early belonging and prepares students for real-world conflict resolution, shifting the narrative from AI as an academic threat to a powerful pedagogical partner.
