Applications

Applications: AI Fluency

AI is compelling faculty to fundamentally reconsider the accepted modes of teaching, learning, scaffolding, and assessing learning in their disciplines. Even those taking a stance of principled non-use in relation to AI are still necessarily engaging this curricular revision work as they identify ways to communicate their learning goals and structure authentic assessments in the face of widespread AI integration. Conversations between colleagues about strategies and experiences have never been more important.

The following resources showcase a range of perspectives on AI in the classroom and come from a variety of disciplinary contexts. In so doing, these examples are designed to support faculty members' varied approaches to the use of this technology in relation to teaching and learning.

This is a living, collaborative resource. If you have an assignment, assessment, or other teaching resource to share, please fill out our form to have it considered for inclusion in our repository.

How to Use the Instructional Materials Resource Repository

To help you navigate the collection, entries are tagged by discipline, by AI stance (AI resistant, AI critical, or AI inclusive), and by assignment type (summative, classroom activity, or formative/homework). These tags are meant to help you find relevant examples quickly.

AI Stance Definitions

AI Resistant assignments explicitly work around AI’s existence, with a goal of having students learn key concepts apart from AI use.

AI Critical assignments look at AI as a cultural artifact and/or analyze problems or limitations of the technology, its development, processes, or outputs.

AI Inclusive assignments include AI use as a part of the assignment with the goal of teaching students appropriate hands-on approaches to AI in learning and production processes.

Type of Assignment Definitions

Summative Assignments are big, end-of-unit assignments that assess how well students have grasped the concepts from that unit.

Formative Assignments/Homework are smaller assignments meant to build knowledge and learning. Their assessments help form how the instructor moves forward with instruction.

Classroom Activities could be discussions, group work or other in-class exercises that help students learn course concepts and skills.
