Supporting Community College Faculty: A Comprehensive Approach to Adopting Generative AI

Generative AI, with its potential to personalize learning and create engaging experiences, offers exciting opportunities for community college faculty to meet the diverse and varying needs of their students. Discover how a Teaching and Learning Center empowers community college faculty to integrate generative AI effectively into their curriculum. This webinar showcases a comprehensive approach through several initiatives to introduce AI to faculty. First, through workshops and individual consulting, faculty learn the fundamentals and applications of generative AI, tailored to their courses. Second, a faculty learning community was established to foster peer-to-peer learning, allowing experimentation and troubleshooting together. Third, a subcommittee of faculty helped craft advocacy for syllabi language and policy development for responsible AI use in individual courses. Finally, the creation of a faculty fellow position in AI that supports faculty research and scholarship in AI-assisted assessment and pedagogical practices. Learn more about this comprehensive framework and discover how institutions can empower faculty to leverage the potential of generative AI while ensuring responsible and effective integration into the community college learning environment.
