Description:

Participants in this PLC Cohort will gain an in-depth understanding of artificial intelligence, especially Chat GPT, and learn to effectively integrate AI into higher education. They will also explore ethical considerations and future trends in AI, preparing them for responsible use and professional growth in AI-related educational roles.

Learning Objectives:

In this PLC Cohort, participants will be able to:

1. Demonstrate a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence, specifically Chat GPT, and apply this knowledge to develop and refine AI-enhanced teaching methodologies suitable for their courses.
2. Design and execute effective prompts for Chat GPT, illustrating an ability to elicit specific, relevant responses for educational purposes.
3. Integrate various AI tools into higher education curricula, evidenced by creating lesson plans or activities that incorporate these technologies to enhance learning outcomes.
4. Develop innovative course content and teaching strategies using Chat GPT, showcasing their application through practical examples or pilot projects in their teaching areas.
5. Critically assess the ethical implications of using AI in education, including bias and privacy issues, and apply this understanding to ensure responsible and equitable AI integration in their courses.
6. Explore and discuss the evolving role of AI in higher education, preparing a strategy or vision for incorporating AI technologies, like Chat GPT, into their future professional development and course design.

Professional Learning Points:

125

Deliverable:

Participants will develop a concise outline demonstrating their plan to integrate AI, particularly Chat GPT, into their teaching or educational work. This outline should include:

1. Brief Course Integration Concept: A succinct description of how they plan to incorporate AI tools, specifically Chat GPT, into a course or educational module. This should highlight the main objective of using AI in their teaching context.
2. Ethical Considerations Note: A short reflection on any ethical considerations, such as bias and data privacy, relevant to their planned use of AI, along with how they intend to address these concerns.

This outline should be brief yet comprehensive enough to convey a clear plan of action and is expected to be presented in a written format, not exceeding two pages. It serves as an initial framework for faculty to begin integrating AI tools into their educational practices.
