The Teaching with AI Level 2 credential delves deeper into the foundation established in Level 1, supporting instructors as they move from understanding AI to intentionally integrating it into their teaching practice. At this stage, the focus shifts from awareness and policy development to pedagogical design, experimentation, and refinement. Participants will explore how AI can shape learning experiences, influence core teaching practices, and open new possibilities for student engagement, assessment, and inquiry. (Participants are not required to complete Teaching with AI Level 1 prior to engaging with Level 2.)
Level 2 is designed for instructors who are ready to move beyond initial exploration and begin making purposeful research informed changes to their courses. The Level 2 credential can be completed by participating in one of the following mini courses.
These courses are also cross-listed with our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Level 2 credential.
Level 2 Opportunities
Introduction to AI Inspired Pedagogies
By now you’ve probably heard of ChatGPT or one of the other various new large language models (LLMs) that have taken the world by storm. But do you know how to deal with the ever-evolving artificial intelligence technology as it relates to your teaching? In this mini course you will be exposed to the basics of redesigning your course as it relates to learning outcomes and instructional activities. We will also explore how to get feedback from students regarding the changes that you make.
Introduction to AI-Enhanced Teaching Practices
Are you interested in learning about how the best teaching practices are impacted by generative AI? If so, this is the mini course for you! In this mini-course you will cover a wide variety of topics and have time to explore new AI applications. Topics will include large language model (LLM) impacts on academic integrity, universal design, inclusive teaching, assessment, as well as explore applications of other types of generative AI such as image and video tools. How to turn these classroom changes into research will also be covered. There are no prerequisites for this course.
