With a focus on responsible and ethical AI use, this challenge encourages faculty members to explore innovative ways to use AI for improved classroom outcomes. No prior AI experience is required.
“The application process is very easy, with five to six short-answer questions, maximum 200 words each,” said Mustafa Akben, director of AI Integration and assistant professor of management. “Many can complete it in less than an hour. Our focus in this AI challenge is more on the creative, ethical, and responsible AI teaching ideas. A willingness to explore AI’s potential in your classroom is all that’s needed.”
The challenge welcomes brief proposals demonstrating novel applications of AI in the classroom. The focus is on clear concepts aligned with sound pedagogical principles.
