Approaches to Addressing Student AI Engagement this Fall

August 11, 2025 - 1:00-2:00 PM

Location: This is an online event. Register to receive the Zoom link and calendar invitation.

Intended Audience: Faculty, Instructors, Graduate Student Instructors, Academic Support Staff

You’re likely anticipating having some kind of conversation with your students about the role of GenAI in your course this Fall. Whether you wish to actively encourage or discourage its usage, we’ll use the time and space of this workshop to discuss various ways that you can effectively communicate expectations to your students. At the start of the workshop, we will leave space to gather information about participants’ chief concerns, and we will adapt the conversation from there to address those concerns directly. By the end of the workshop, you should have an understanding of the possible approaches you can take for creating the kind of classroom culture around using (or resisting) GenAI that you desire in your class context.

This session will run for 45 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
