Faculty Learning Community
Advancing Student and Collaborative Educator Networks for Digital AI Integration
Faculty Learning Community
2026-2027
About the Program
Join a year-long Faculty Learning Community (FLC) to develop AI literacy and integrate AI into teaching.
Participants complete five core modules:
AI basics,
Responsible use,
AI detection,
Discipline-specific applications,
AI innovation.
Regular sessions help faculty build an "AI identity" focusing on technical understanding, ethics, disciplinary integration, and innovation. Commitment to sessions and workshops is required.
During Fall 2026 and Spring 2027, participate in a classroom pilot to incorporate AI into your course. Supported with curriculum advice, access to ChatGPT Enterprise and Claude AI Enterprise, assessment guidance, and community support, faculty can test and refine AI strategies.
This opportunity aims to establish effective, discipline-specific AI literacy methods, with ongoing evaluation and improvement. Faculty learning community members are also encouraged to mentor student teams participating in AI Use Competitions, collaborative events where students apply AI tools to solve discipline-related problems while demonstrating responsible use and ethical reasoning. Mentors guide student teams through problem framing, solution development, impact assessment, and presentation preparation.
