Hello again everyone! Marohang and I look forward to you joining us for the kick-off meeting of out learning community for AY2023-2024 tomorrow morning, 10 to 11am (East Lansing Time) Friday, September 22, 2023. We'll revisit the primary aims behind our community and see where the conversation takes us although we are very interested in a more conscious effort to bring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pedagogy into the conversation this year, examine how a digital-collaborative approa...

Hello again everyone! Marohang and I look forward to you joining us for the kick-off meeting of out learning community for AY2023-2024 tomorrow morning, 10 to 11am (East Lansing Time) Friday, September 22, 2023. We'll revisit the primary aims behind our community and see where the conversation takes us although we are very interested in a more conscious effort to bring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pedagogy into the conversation this year, examine how a digital-collaborative approach to teaching and learning can democratize the creation and sharing of knowledge, and explore how the advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) might have a positive role to play in our work with 21st century students. We hope you can join us!

Thinking this morning about transformative change through our classroom practices when what do I stumble across on Youtube? Admittedly this seems geared more toward the organizational level, but there is something here when it comes to teaching and learning practices too I think.

Tried a new discussion with my 200-level course on the first day! Brief explanation about what generative AI is and asked - "Is it better to be a robot or a human? Why?" After lots of responses about emotional connection, empathy, and outlets for our personal experiences, I asked, "How do you plan to bring your human-ness to our class?" They talked about wanting to hear others' personal experiences, perspectives, and ideas about solving social problems. They want to show empathy for their pee...

Tried a new discussion with my 200-level course on the first day! Brief explanation about what generative AI is and asked - "Is it better to be a robot or a human? Why?" After lots of responses about emotional connection, empathy, and outlets for our personal experiences, I asked, "How do you plan to bring your human-ness to our class?" They talked about wanting to hear others' personal experiences, perspectives, and ideas about solving social problems. They want to show empathy for their peers and they want to receive it. Part of my syllabus AI policy reads, "The use of AI robs us all of the opportunity to learn from our human experiences and from each other, to play with our creative freedoms, to problem-solve, and to contribute our ideas in authentic ways. In a nutshell, college is a place for learning and critical thinking. AI simply cannot do that learning for us. Use of AI (like ChatGPT) to complete any class assignment is considered academic misconduct in this class." I used the discussion as a way for them to do this rationalizing for themselves.

Assessment in my class includes weekly quizzes (which could pretty easily be answered with AI; just meant to be a concept check) and semester-long project-based skills development assignments.

We are hosting a virtual, pre-semester meeting on August 22 to start building our learning community, Navigating Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in the Classroom. Here is the description of the learning community, which you can also find on the OFASD website: "The use of large language models, such as ChatGPT, has exploded onto the educational scene with lots of unanswered questions about its implications in the classroom.

We are hosting a virtual, pre-semester meeting on August 22 to start building our learning community, Navigating Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in the Classroom. Here is the description of the learning community, which you can also find on the OFASD website: "The use of large language models, such as ChatGPT, has exploded onto the educational scene with lots of unanswered questions about its implications in the classroom. This learning community will build on the many sources of information that probe these questions, participants’ experiences in the classroom, and create plans to develop guidelines and action research around these questions."


The meeting is Tues, August 22 from 10-11:30am on Zoom. We plan to spend the first part of the meeting doing some introductions, gathering information about members' specific goals for involvement, and share some of the campus resources around generative AI, including a streamlined version of our "generative AI in the classroom" workshop. Please register here if you plan to attend so we get a general sense of how many folks will participate: https://msu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcodu6grT4iG9z6AtbgcsDydWnZ2IY4VINN


If you have to miss this one, don't worry! We also have a Teams that you can join if you want to stay updated: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19%3a6oievzPpG1-Gu3eebonZyK2vpjzfc3ANdaMoCAAqnYQ1%40thread.tacv2/General?groupId=c0bd0cf9-f952-47e1-a2e6-0221348612e2&tenantId=22177130-642f-41d9-9211-74237ad5687d
We plan to have a monthly hybrid meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 9am in the STEM building, with an optional co-working session on the third Thursday of every month at 9am.

Hello!

The MSU Department of Police and Public Safety is hosting a Community Cool Down event outside of the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility this Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 from 11:00am to 2:00pm. The event is open to all students, faculty, and staff and the goal is to provide a safe space and opportunity for the Spartan community to get energized ahead of the fall semester.

Interim Guidance on Data Uses and Risks of Generative AI
(source site https://tech.msu.edu/about/guidelines-policies/generative-ai/)

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) language models, including products like ChatGPT and Bard, are powerful tools that can assist with various tasks from teaching and learning, to writing support, to data analysis. No generative AI product currently has a formal agreement with Michigan State University, but users looking for a generative AI tool can find a list of IT approved software for individual use here. Note that any use of generative AI tools must adhere to this interim guidance. Users who choose to use these publicly available generative AI tools should understand the potential risks and limitations associated with publicly available versions of them. This interim guidance outlines recommendations regarding the types of data that may and may not be entered into consumer or commercial generative AI products, with specific considerations for higher education, MSU policies, and institutional needs. It also offers an overview of limitations to be aware of when using generative AI and offers some current best practices for working with these tools.

Further guidance regarding more specific needs like handling generative AI in teaching and learning activities, selecting and adopting AI tools, creating sample syllabus language, and more will follow in the coming months as MSU continues to explore how most effectively to leverage these new tools in a way that meets the university’s needs while keeping our data and users safe.
