AI-Assisted Teaching & Learning with Chatbots: Rethinking Pedagogy in the Age of Generative AI

-

Location: 246 Hesburgh Library & Zoom

Generative AI chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT are great tools to have as part of your toolbox. This hands-on workshop is designed to move faculty from reactive "AI-proofing" strategies to proactive, design-centric pedagogical integration.

Participants will learn how to strategically use chatbots as instructional design assistants, personal tutors, and tools for critical analysis. We will focus on adapting current assignments to foster AI literacy, ethical transparency, and metacognitive reflection, ensuring that AI enhances—rather than replaces—core learning outcomes. The session will feature practical examples of prompt engineering to create personalized learning experiences, low-stakes practice activities, and complex, process-based assessments.

Facilitators:

  • Roberto Cásarez, Academic Tech and AI Literacy Specialist, Teaching & Learning Technologies
  • Alex Ambrose, Director of the Lab for AI in Teaching and Learning, Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
