Teaching and Learning with AI Conference

Faculty are overwhelmed by grading, course preparations, advising, accreditation, and scholarship, while AI tools keep changing. This session introduces the concept of a Faculty AI Operating System: a structured, reusable approach to training and deploying a personal AI that understands a professor’s courses, rubrics, teaching style, and workflows. Instead of relying on fragile prompts, participants learn to build a durable AI partner to support syllabus design, grading, feedback, research, and administrative work. Attendees will leave with a blueprint they can implement immediately in any discipline. (Faculty Productivity, AI-Enabled Pedagogy, Future-Proof Course Design).

Role playing is a powerful active-learning strategy that helps students apply course concepts through authentic, scenario-based experiences. This session will explore the role playing feature in ChatGPT and Gemini AI platforms to demonstrate how faculty across all disciplines can design role-playing assignments that strengthen industry-specific communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Participants will observe a live demonstration, learn a practical framework for implementation, and create their own role-playing prompt that can be immediately implemented and adapted for both face-to-face and online learning environments. #airoleplay #activelearning #scenariobasedlearning
