Empowering Faculty with AI-Enabled Planning: Ethical, Purposeful, and Pedagogically Sound Teaching Practices

 

This professional development series equips UTRGV faculty with the skills to both use artificial intelligence for assignment development, as well as to integrate it into their teaching through evidence-based digital pedagogies. Participants will learn to design scaffolded formative assignments, create authentic assessments that foster purposeful learning, and critically evaluate their own practices through an ethical lens, which focuses on AI as a critical and creative partner, rather than a shortcut tool that diminishes opportunities for development of digital critical literacies. Each session builds on current research and practical applications to support innovative, reflective, and student-centered instruction in the age of AI.
