Building on the energy and interest sparked by this summer’s Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) workshop series on artificial intelligence (AI), we are excited to launch a yearlong AI Faculty Workshop Series in 2025–2026. These monthly workshops will create space for faculty to share their approaches, challenges, tools and insights as they explore the evolving role of generative AI in teaching, learning, and research. Each workshop will focus on a different dimension of AI and pedagogy, based on the conversations and feedback we received during the Summer AI Workshops.
We invite faculty from all disciplines to indicate your interest in leading a session on one of the below listed workshop topics or propose a related topic. Faculty are especially encouraged to partner with a colleague from another department or college, as these workshops aim to reflect the cross-disciplinary impact of AI on education. All faculty presenters/facilitators will receive a $300 honorarium from CELT.
If interested, please complete this short Qualtrics form to express your interest by Sept. 1:
Sample workshop topics include:
- AI Across Modalities: Adapting Tools for Online and In-Person Classrooms
AI use in teaching doesn’t look the same in every classroom and it shouldn’t. This session explores how faculty are thoughtfully integrating AI tools across different instructional modalities, from fully online courses to in-person settings. - Student Voices: Learning with AI
A panel of students will reflect on how they use AI for learning and what kind of guidance they wish faculty would provide. (Moderated by faculty) - Bridging the Gap: AI in Teaching and Research
How are faculty leveraging AI not just in the classroom, but in their own research? This interdisciplinary panel brings together instructors and scholars to explore the dual impact of generative AI on both pedagogy and scholarship - Creativity in the Age of AI: Teaching Art, Music, Literature, Theatre and Design
Explore how AI-generated content challenges and expands creative expression. Faculty showcase projects, assignments, and ethical considerations. - Teaching Ethics, Equity and Critical AI Literacy
A cross-disciplinary panel on how faculty are helping students critically engage with the risks, biases, and social impact of AI. Panelists will share strategies for teaching students to question and responsibly use AI tools, with special attention to issues of copyright, intellectual property, and authorship in the age of generative AI. - Build Your Own Prompt Bank: Faculty Roundtable
An interactive, hands-on session where faculty share their best teaching prompts using AI — categorized by discipline and use case. - AI Across Disciplines: What We’ve Learned and What’s Next
Wrap-up panel reflecting on the year’s sessions, emerging practices, and what faculty want from AI moving forward. Include space for Q&A and feedback.
Don’t worry if your experience is informal or still evolving. We’re building a collaborative space where experimentation, curiosity, and learning from one another are at the center.
We look forward to showcasing your work and supporting one another as we navigate the opportunities and challenges AI brings to our classrooms and scholarship.
