Note author and faculty developer Derek Bruff will explore the use (and misuse) of generative Ai in teaching and learning. With the advent of easy-to-use artificial intelligence (AI) text generation tools like ChatGPT, educators must grapple with what these technologies mean for their course and assignment designs. In this practical session, we will briefly survey the landscape of AI tools for generating text and other media, then dive into the teaching choices they present. What changes do we need to make to our learning objectives, if any, in light of ChatGPT and other AI tools? How can we design assignments that either leverage or minimize AI tools to meet those learning objectives? This session will feature teaching principles and examples of practice to help answer these questions as the AI landscape continues to change.
