During August 2024 Convocation week, Brittany O'Meara and Jenny Lawrence of Boise State University provided a workshop on generative AI in the classroom to NIC faculty. A recording of the presentation is available at this link: : https://nic.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=4699df57-a74c-4c25-b375-b1cc015cea72. The presenters have also provided a link to their AI Literacy For Educators: Fundamentals, Ethical Guidelines, and Strategies for the Classroom website. https://sites.google.com/boisestate.edu/aiworkshop/home.
The introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 initiated a conversation within Higher Education surrounding the use of generative artificial intelligence that continues today. Faculty concerns about academic freedom, teaching, student learning, and ethics vary widely. A February 2024 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education by Taylor Swank expertly sums up the challenges posed by the transformative technology (Chronicle of Higher Education: AI Will Shake Up Higher Ed. Are Colleges Ready?) . This Research Guide offers access to resources for AI research and general, common guidance concerning the ethical use of AI, it does not serve as a policy manual. Faculty who have questions about policy or best practices should seek guidance from their Division Chairs, students should consult with their instructors.
There are numerous panel discussions, tutorials, and industry trainings available on video. Following NIC's guidelines for accessibility, this guide will only host or link to those with clear, accurate closed captioning available.
