Creating an AI Toolkit for Faculty

Abstract

Generative AI has brought many opportunities and challenges to Higher Education. Faculty across disciplines have shown a keen interest in learning more about generative AI. A team of instructional designers at a regional university working collaboratively to develop Generative AI resources aimed to support faculty members in expanding their knowledge.  These efforts resulted in an AI Toolkit specifically targeted to help faculty grow their knowledge and experience with generative AI. The toolkit contains resources for faculty relating to policy and guidelines, academic integrity, and ways to integrate generative AI into their courses. This article recalls the process that led to the creation of the AI toolkit, provides a research-based rationale for its creation, and includes information on accessing and using the publicly available toolkit.
