There are lots of ways to use generative AI to improve student assessment, but what about using it to make your life easier as an instructor? If we think about generative AI as an assistant, what kinds of tasks could generative AI help you finish them more effectively (both improving the quality of your work… Read more »
Generative AI in the Classroom: Transparency (Primer Part 5)
You’ve heard some buzz about generative AI (genAI), and you’ve learned to mitigate some of the concerns. Students will be tempted to use generative AI on assignments that are too high stakes or too low stakes, so our goal as instructors should be to be transparent and demonstrate to our students why the assessments we… Read more »
Accommodating the Accommodators: Accessibility for Graduate Associate Instructors
This post was written by the CITL’s Eric Brinkman (they/them) and guest author MarChé TiShaun Daughtry (they/them) We often think about how to accommodate the needs of students, but instructors can also need accommodations. With so many offices on campus, it can be particularly difficult for graduate instructors—in their dual roles as both students and… Read more »

Generative AI in the Classroom: Prompt Engineering and Tutoring (AI Primer Part 4)
So now you’re using generative AI regularly: you have some ideas for assignment designs and you’re incorporating generative AI into your classroom. For example, you would like your students to learn about cavitation. This all started for me when I watched a YouTube video online. In the video, a scientist hits the top of a… Read more »
Generative AI in the Classroom: In-class Activities (Primer Part 3)
So you’ve started using generative AI, decided to move forward with incorporating generative AI into your classroom, and you have some ideas for assignment designs. But you’re still wondering about how to get started. Try a low stakes in-class activity to get started getting feedback from your students. Again, the research from Stanford on generative… Read more »
