Key Purpose
-
The AI Corner is a self-paced micro-learning resource designed for students and faculty who want to use generative AI tools responsibly in academic settings.
-
It emphasizes building AI fluency by integrating AI-literacy with the institution’s teaching/online-teaching quality framework, known as the Compass of Online Teaching Excellence (COTE).
What It Offers
-
Modules and resources for crafting effective prompts, understanding generative AI (“GenAI”), and applying AI tools in teaching and learning.
-
Practical examples and workflows for using AI to generate quiz questions, support STEM tutoring, update accessibility features, or assist in course structure and technology integration.
-
A focus on ethical, responsible use — including issues of privacy, academic integrity, and ensuring technology supports pedagogy rather than replacing it.
Why It Matters
-
As AI tools become more common in education, the AI Corner offers a structured way for both faculty and students to engage with these tools in informed, pedagogically-sound ways.
-
By aligning AI literacy with the institution’s online teaching framework (COTE), it ensures AI use is not an add-on but embedded within effective instructional design, student engagement, accessibility, and community building.
