Syllabi, Lesson Plans, and AI, Oh My! Leveraging Generative AI for Course Material Adaptation or Creation

Feeling overwhelmed by course prep? Let AI lend a hand! In this interactive workshop, faculty will explore how generative AI can streamline the creation and adaptation of syllabi, lesson plans, assessments, and active learning activities. Through hands-on exercises, we’ll experiment with AI tools to generate and refine course content while addressing ethical considerations and best practices. Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting, this session will provide practical strategies to enhance your teaching while keeping academic integrity at the forefront. Walk away with fresh ideas, AI-powered techniques, and one less thing on your to-do list!

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Identify generative AI tools that can assist in creating syllabi, lesson plans, learning objectives, active learning activities, and open educational resources (OER).
2. Evaluate the strengths and limitations of generative AI in curriculum development, including ethical considerations.
3. Apply generative AI tools to draft or enhance course materials.
4. Develop strategies for integrating AI-generated content into their teaching while maintaining academic integrity and pedagogical soundness.
