The AI Course Redesign Institute offers a workshop-style hands-on experience for UTA faculty interested in integrating Artificial Intelligence into their courses. This one-day institute provides faculty with the tools, resources, and frameworks needed to redesign and enhance their curricula with AI, creating more engaging, effective, and inclusive learning environments. Participants will explore the latest AI technologies and pedagogical strategies from peers and resources, gaining the skills to integrate AI tools into their teaching practices. There will be time provided to work on developing your own course or courses. By the end of the institute, participants will leave with actionable next steps to incorporate AI into their teaching, fostering an innovative and forward-thinking classroom environment.
