I hope you are enjoying a restorative summer break! Usually, the TTT goes on break in the summer, but I thought I would share some resources that you may find useful when planning your classes for the fall. No pressure to start working now, but if you’re like me, sometimes your thoughts drift to planning at the most unexpected moments—what I like to call “ideas marinating.”
Generative AI is here to stay, for better or worse. With that in mind, I’ve found a few resources that might spark some ideas during your mental marinating sessions. Consider these as different inspirations to guide your thoughts on AI in education:
- An AI policy flowchart from UMass Amherst. This handy flowchart helps you navigate the implications of using generative AI tools in your courses. It walks you through key decision points, helping you and your students make informed choices. Plus, it’s packed with relevant questions and links to further resources.
- Syllabus Resources from Besty Barre and her team at Wake Forest University. The Center for the Advancement of Teaching at Wake Forest University has put together some fantastic resources on developing an AI approach, setting AI expectations, and using a decision tree to determine AI appropriateness. The “six steps” link is a great starting point. I know Betsy, and she and her team always deliver top-notch work!
- Assessment Ideas for an AI-Enabled World from the University College London. This resource lets you access a PowerPoint by Isobel Bowditch, Digital Assessment Advisor at UCL. It features over 40 assessment cards using six types of summative assessments. The deck includes detailed breakdowns of assessment types, learning goals tied to Bloom’s taxonomy, AI literacy, and discipline-specific suitability. Make sure to put the slide deck in presentation mode to use all the links.
Happy marinating! |
