Explore AI’s profound informational, contextual, and emotional influence by analyzing responses to prompts to generate “emotion images.” Image: Midjourney “influence –no person”
Teaching Topic: Teaching ABOUT Generative AI
AI and authorship, citation practices
Have a conversation with students about whether AI tools can be considered “authors,” and the role of citation in scholarly work. Image: Midjourney “authorship –no person”
Using AI to support student success
Use AI to generate examples for a newly introduced research proposal assessment and have students review and evaluate the examples. Image: Midjourney “Student success –no person”
It’s about the journey, not the destination
Assess the prompts that the students use and the process by which they refine them and then critique and reference the outputs of generative AI rather than the final product. Image: Midjourney “Journey –no people”
Predict Where AI Excels
Individually students construct one question or prompt on a specific topic that they think text-generating AI can respond to successfully, and another prompt or question they think AI responds to unsuccessfully. In a larger group, students share their work to identify characteristics of prompts to which AI struggles to respond. Image: Midjourney “Predict –no person”
Artificial Intelligence: Ethics & Societal Challenges
This four-week course explores ethical and societal aspects of the increasing use of artificial intelligent technologies (AI). Image: Midjourney “Ethics –no person”
Socially Annotate OpenAI’s privacy and service Terms
Use an annotation tool like Hypothesis to have students read and comment upon the TOS of a chatbot like ChatGPT. Do this before you ever ask them to use one of these tools as a way of interrogating what is happening with our data when we engage with generative AI. Image: Midjourney “Annotation –no person”
AI Ethics: Fostering Digital Literacies
This technique helps students to critically reflect on digital technology and its use in education/for study. Image: Midjourney “Digital Literacy –no person”
Critical Assessment and Analysis Exercise
This assignment asks first-year critical writing students to evaluate the reliability, factuality, and internal reasoning of three anonymized texts, one written by AI, that present conflicting opinions or information. Image: Midjourney “Analysis –no people”
Neuroqueering AI: The Text Generator as Emergent Collaborator
This assignment first tasks students with creating their own text generator using a premade module and then asks them to reflect on the experience of directing an LLM-generated composition. Image: Midjourney “Emergent –no person”
