In this two-part workshop, we will discuss strategies for mindfully implementing AI as a teaching tool and managing students' use of AI as they complete course assessments and assignments. Our goal is to center instructor wellness by creating space for participants to consider both the ethics and possible value of artificial intelligence (AI) as an instructional collaborative tool in the processes of grading; course design and redesign; and student support resource generation. We will also consider the impact that AI may have on instructor wellness in consideration of ongoing concerns of student academic dishonesty or the negative impact that AI may have on student creativity or self-directed learning.
By creating a space for instructors to learn about new applications of AI and share their own past experiences or current concerns about how AI may already be a component of the teaching and learning spaces they co-create with students, we will empower instructors to consider boundaries and next steps that enhance their wellness while teaching in the emerging age of AI.
