In this handout created by educational developers Doug Holton & Ilene Frank, five ways to adapt your teaching to generative AI Tools are discussed:
- Check for or Prevent AI-Generated Work
- Utilize Synchronous Teaching & Learning Sessions
- Assess the Process, Not (Just) the Product
- Make Your Assessments More Authentic, Open, or Collaborative
- Incorporate AI Tools into Your Course Activities
Each tip on the handout has several resources embedded within it, such as suggestions for what to do when you suspect AI-generated text as well as resources such as Alternative Assessment Worldwide and Authentic Assessment Toolbox. which provide examples on how to deliver authentic assessments. (An additional resource created at Yale
University can be found here.)
Additionally, the document contains several Do’s and Don’ts When Using ChatGPT & Similar Tools, such as:
- Do try ChatGPT and similar tools yourself – Submit some of your own assignments or questions to see the responses generated. Check for any errors and false information.
- Don’t use AI detectors or use them sparingly – They have significant false positive rates, may collect and re-use student data, and they are very easy for students to beat.
- Don’t depend on these tools working in a live class – Sometimes the servers are overloaded.
- Do learn how to write better prompts – See these sample prompts or a teacher guide or this prompt engineering guide. There are also tips for altering ChatGPT’s default writing style.
A few additional tips include:
- Asking students to use resources that are not openly available on the web, including any resources behind a paywall or many of the amazing resources in the IU Library.
- Promote library resources- AI Generative tools can have difficulty generating an accurate bibliography, nor does it completely understand the concept of citation. This shortcoming can be a good way for you to explain to your students how to cite properly, why citation is important, and how they can use available resources to do their own work. Our librarians are willing to provide resources and or visit your class if you provide them with advanced notice and contextualize what you would like for them to discuss. (University of Chicago)
- Incorporating the most up-to-date resources and information of your field so that students are answering questions that have not yet been answered or only begun to be answered. (Yale)

The Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning and Division of Digital Learning at the University of Central Florida have partnered to create the first nationwide conference of practitioners to discuss the use and potential impact of AI on teaching and learning in higher education.
Professionals, instructors, researchers, and policymakers from all sectors of higher education are invited to discuss the impact AI can and will have on courses and students.
We are currently accepting proposal submissions for short presentations, interactive workshops, and posters related to the practice of using AI for teaching and learning in colleges and universities across the country. Because of the expected high interest, the proposal process will be competitive.
The call for proposals is now open and will close on Monday, June 19, 2023.
Proposals can cover a broad range of topics including students using AI, ethical considerations, the use of AI for personal adaptive learning, and many more. Visit our webpage to learn more about the proposals and topics for the event: https://digitallearning.ucf.edu/teachwithai/
