AI as the Democratic Tutor: Scaffolding AI Integration Across Disciplines
No full textThis presentation explores how artificial intelligence can democratize access to individualized tutoring across disciplines, addressing Benjamin Bloom\u27s 2 Sigma Problem through modern technology. Drawing from extensive experience integrating AI in Communications courses, the presenters will demonstrate practical scaffolding techniques that help students effectively use AI as an enhancement tool rather than a replacement for learning. The session will include interactive components allowing participants to develop discipline-specific applications of these scaffolding techniques
Empowering Pre-Service Teachers: Using Generative AI for Differentiated and Culturally Responsive Instruction
No full textHow can generative AI (GenAI) transform instructional design and teacher preparation? Drawing on findings from a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) case study, this interactive session will explore how pre-service English teachers use GenAI to create differentiated and culturally responsive curriculum. Through hands-on activities, attendees will engage with practical GenAI prompts for designing responsive lessons and discover actionable strategies for integrating these tools into teacher education programs. Discussions will highlight both the benefits and challenges of using GenAI in teacher preparation, leaving participants inspired and equipped with resources to help future educators meet the diverse needs of their students
Using AI to Design Aligned Courses with OERs in Higher Education
Get PDFThis workshop explores how AI can enhance course development across disciplines, with a focus on achieving quality alignment using Open Educational Resources (OERs). Drawing from recent experience in designing AI-assisted courses in both science and humanities, this session highlights strategies for aligning course objectives, learning activities, and assessments. Participants will see practical applications of AI tools that streamline course design, increase access to high-quality materials, and support learners. Whether you\u27re new to AI or an experienced user, join us to discover and discuss how AI supports innovative course development across disciplines
Empowering Lecturers, Researchers & Staff: The BUas AI Training Framework
Get PDFCurious how a university can get all staff AI-ready? In this 25-minute session, discover how Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) rolled out a university-wide AI training strategy—covering lecturers, researchers, and operational staff. Learn why we took action, how European legislation influenced our approach, and what kind of training (from essential to advanced) we now offer. We\u27ll also showcase some of the creative ways BUas fosters campus-wide learning and open dialogue around AI—beyond the classroom
AI: Implications in Pedagogy and Practice
Get PDFThe impacts of AI continue to evolve in higher education, we are grappling in real-time with the complexity of supporting students to use AI thoughtfully when the vast majority of professors say they themselves don\u27 t know how. (McMurtie, 2024) In Fall 2024, the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts Faculty Engagement team convened a Teaching Fellows cohort of Faculty from diverse departments to grapple with AI\u27 s implications in their teaching. In Spring 2025, a second cohort was convened to act as teacher-leaders on AI. This session will outline the design and facilitation of these cohorts, and the emergent results
AI as a Collaborative Partner: Developing Liberally Educated Students Through Research
Get PDFWhat if generative AI could help students not only improve their research but also prepare for professional environments? This presentation demonstrates how integrating AI into an econometrics course builds the critical thinking, communication, and adaptability central to a liberally educated student. Using logbooks via collaborative chats in BoodleBox to foster reflection and AI as a tutor for practicing poster sessions and research conversations, students gained confidence and honed their skills. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for using AI to enhance research and professional preparation, empowering students across disciplines to collaborate with technology while maintaining ownership of their learning and intellectual growth
From Sherlock to Algorithms: Navigating Academic Integrity in the AI Era
Get PDFAh, the good old days. Do you remember when faculty traditionally detected academic integrity issues through vigilant observation, comparing students\u27 work for inconsistencies, and conducting oral examinations to verify understanding? Well, gone are the days of yesteryear; times have indeed changed! We are living in an era where artificial intelligence is transforming education. Now more than ever, faculty must navigate the complexities of academic integrity. This presentation highlights the nuances of identifying AI-generated work and offers practical strategies for educators to provide constructive feedback and guidance to students. Attendees will gain insights into the latest AI detection tools and learn best practices for supporting honesty and originality in the classroom. Join us to explore how we can uphold the values of integrity while embracing technological advancements. Don\u27t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of this ever-changing topic
