AI Commons Bulletin 1/22/2025
Human-curated news about generative AI for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
📷 AI for Photographic Course Materials
Instructors using photos in course materials can explore AI tools that extend images into panoramic or 360-degree views. Currently based on a single photo, these tools may soon evolve to include context, offering more accurate and dynamic results.

👍 Policies at German Universities Generally Positive Toward AI
A content analysis of AI guidelines at 67 universities in Germany can be summed up as: use it if you wish, just be open and transparent.

💬 Word of the Day: Agentic Era
Google sees the future as agentic. To them, this means AI that can “understand more about the world around you, think multiple steps ahead, and take action on your behalf”. In other words, AI that makes decisions and adapts to its surroundings.

🏫 Learning Needs in the Age of AI is Different
The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) sparks important discussions regarding learner independence and self-direction:
1. How to use AI productively for one’s learning needs
2. How to evaluate AI responses
3. How to maintain one’s own voice

🔊 MSU IT Announces ChatGPT and Gemini “Coming Soon”
The new AI page on tech.msu.edu teases that Gemini and ChatGPT are “coming soon” But it is unclear if the applications will be available for purchase or if the campus community will have free access of the latest foundational models.
Learn More: https://tech.msu.edu/technology/ai/
✍️ Departments at Johns Hopkins Integrated AI into their Curriculum Development Process
It’s like experiential learning for faculty – integrate AI into a standard task that you need to do anyway. Also has a list of very concrete bite-sized learning objectives for learning to use AI, like: name 3 chatbots, start a chat, list 3 ways to make a better prompt.
Learn More: Khamis, N., et al. (2025). More intelligent faculty development: Integrating GenAI in curriculum development programs. Medical Teacher, 1–3.
⚙️ AI Tools Are Being Used for All Stages of the Scientific Research Process
This working paper gives quite in-depth description of several AI tools being used for each of step of the research cycle: (1) lit review, (2) generating research ideas, (3) conducting experiments, (4) generating multimodal content, and (5) conducting peer-review. Recommended to get a good lay of the land.

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.

Out ahead of today's 1pm workshop on Generative AI in the context of IAH courses, here is a freshly posted discussion of how teachers can use ChatGPT from the folks at The New EdTech Classroon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HJZzwt3lY
If that piques you interest, the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities (CISAH) invites you to a workshop on how we can plan ahead in a productive way for the challenges and possibilities presented by generative artificial intelligence (AI). The session will provide concrete guidance for incorporating AI in pedagogically sound ways into our courses. Please bring an existing syllabus or assignment that you would like to modify during the session. Scott Schopieray and Caitlin Kirby of the Enhanced Digital Learning Initiative here at MSU will lead the discussion, which will be recorded for those who are unable to attend at the scheduled time.
Topic: IAH Courses and Generative AI Workshop
Time: Oct 9, 2023 01:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Human-curated news about generative AI for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
🧬 Use Case: A Structured Framework Requiring ChatGPT Use
Graduate students used ChatGPT for a project, following specific steps and justifying their choices. The assessment emphasized critical thinking. Students appreciated the structured framework, which helped them learn ChatGPT’s use and weaknesses effectively.
Learn More: https://doi.org/10.1080/0142159X.2024.2421997
🔍 Explore a Self-Directed Learning Bot
Did you know you can create a customized version of ChatGPT for your students? An example is LearnGuide, created to add self-directed learning to a problem-based learning (PBL) medical curriculum. Students learned as well as or better than those who did not use the tool.
Learn More: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-oZ8zdPaKp-learnguide
✏️ Writing Improved When Assisted by AI
Subjects wrote stories with ChatGPT-3’s assistance. Those who modified AI suggestions produced higher-quality, less biased writing than those who accepted or rejected them outright. Researchers attribute this to higher-order thinking during modification.
Learn More: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2412.07200
🚫 Why Academics Don’t Use AI
A survey of UK academics found half did not use AI tools in their work because:
They didn’t know how to use AI or if it was allowed
Ethical issues relating to how AI works
Lack of time and interest
They prefer to do work themselves
Reject AI as dehumanizing
AI is inaccurate and can’t be trusted
