Through a diverse series of programs, workshops, and resource development, we are aiming to equip faculty with tools, practices, and points of conversation to support our faculty ensuring that students' human insights, creativity, and ethical reasoning remain the focus, through a framework of “AI Resilience.” "AI Resilience” aims to foster teaching, learning, and engagement at Centre drawing on a growth mindset for our faculty, for our students, and for our campus. Resilience signals that we are aiming to be adaptive and consider the usefulness of AI, embracing its capabilities, while also maintaining vigilance against its limitations.
Centre is addressing these challenges in a two-fold approach. One approach addresses issues such as how can AI serve as a “cognitive partner in learning” without replacing student thinking. An equally important approach aims at faculty who are concerned about the future, this approach fosters conversation about adaptation and AI literacy to cultivate confidence and capacity to foster deep learning. This spring, Workshops aim to provide faculty with discussion fora about all topics, AI User Groups address the question: how can AI serve as a “cognitive partner in learning” without replacing student thinking, and Community Learning through PED Talks address questions such as: how do we think about the future with this technology disruption to still teach with confidence and capacity to foster deep learning, a sort of "AI resistant" approach.
