Exploring AI for Teaching and Learning in the Humanities
The rapid development of AI technologies has major implications for teaching and learning across all disciplines, including the humanities. As faculty committed to excellence in humanities teaching, it is vital that we engage with these technologies, critically examine their potentials and pitfalls, and develop strategies for effectively integrating them into our pedagogical practices where appropriate.
By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and knowledge sharing, this community will empower faculty to navigate the evolving AI landscape and make informed decisions about if, how, and when to incorporate AI tools in their humanities courses and curricula.
Objectives:
1. Build faculty understanding of current AI capabilities and limitations, especially as pertains to teaching and learning in the humanities.
2. Facilitate sharing of practical AI integration strategies, activities, assignments, etc. across the humanities.
3. Provide a supportive space for hands-on experimentation with AI tools.
4. Collaboratively develop best practices and guidelines for responsible AI adoption.
**The first 3 in this list will take priority.
