WHile waiting for my wife to bring home East African food for (Friday) dinner, I came across this new post on generative AI from the folks at Conn Sense Education and thought it might be of interest to people here at MSU's iTeach:

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!

Marohang and Stokes

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.

Recorded Webinar on Generative AI and Teaching at MSU:
Event: An Introduction to Teaching and Generative AI
Facilitators: Stephen Thomas, Jeremy Van hof, and Jake Kasper

https://mediaspace.msu.edu/media/Introduction+to+teaching+with+generative+AI/1_7sww2tmu

Part 1
The first hour will be focused on general concepts and implications of generative AI (genAI) to your current course. This workshop will introduce you to the concept of genAI and Large Language Models (LLM). We will look at what can be done with them, how students might use them, and how you might think about them in your classroom. You will be given a chance to reflect and discuss how these tools might interact with your assignment prompts and how you might think about your assessment structure.

Part 2
The second hour will be more open for exploration of tools and specific examples of curriculum. Examples will be given for incorporating genAI into disciplinary objectives and what additional genAI skills might be added to course goals. As part of this discussion, we can examine three genAI tools: ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Khanmigo. If you are not familiar with ChatGPT, you might sign up for a free account to get the most out of this part of the session (instructions: https://edli.msu.edu/2023/08/16/generative-ai-resources-msu/#ChatGPT-signup).

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.

I first learned about ungrading from my the APA's Society for Teaching of Psychology facebook group, and they had so many conversations around this that they started a slack channel. I haven't kept up with it but they use specs grading, which is perhaps a better fit for larger courses. I tried a version of this during remote learning in 2020. Here's the slack channel if you're interested in joining those conversations: https://join.slack.com/t/specsgradingi-pm17499/shared_invite/zt-1wqybjovp...

As part of what will hopefully be an ongoing conversation of the role of AI in teaching the arts and humanities, please consider sharing ways you have integrated (or are interesting in integrating) generative AI like ChatGPT into your IAH teaching.
