As generative AI reshapes teaching, assessment, and workforce expectations, institutions need low-stakes opportunities for faculty to meaningfully and ethically engage with AI tools. Building on a pilot Test Fest that awarded over 60 certifications in the fall (15 AI-related), a cross-functional team scaled the program to offer Pearson GenAI certification to faculty across disciplines. Presenters will share design choices, implementation strategies, and insights from faculty feedback, highlighting how participants plan to integrate AI into teaching and assessment to prepare students for a rapidly evolving workplace. #AIFluency #FacultyDevelopment #GenerativeAI
Helping students retain information long-term can be one of teaching's greatest challenges. This workshop explores practical ways to enhance learning using artificial intelligence tools. Drawing on established cognitive science research, we will examine four evidence-based strategies, namely retrieval practice, dual coding, elaboration, and interleaving and we will identify how AI can support their implementation. Participants discuss how to design activities where AI tools help generate practice questions, create visual maps, prompt student elaboration, and develop interleaved activities. You'll leave with ready-to-use templates that leverage AI as a learning partner while maintaining academic integrity across all disciplines.
