Generative AI in Teaching and Learning Community of Practice
Led by Nadia Kellam, Sue Huffman and Jon Baek
Kickoff Meeting | Thursday, October 23, 2025 | 11am – 12pm | Zoom (password: lthrocks)
Have you ever wondered how students are actually using generative AI in their courses- and how they should be using it? Whether you’re new to AI tools or already experimenting with them, this community of practice is open to all instructors curious about the evolving role of AI in teaching and learning. Together, we’ll explore how to create classroom environments that support ethical, critical, and thoughtful use of generative AI.
Our work will be hands-on and learner-centered: participants will unpack real assignments, map how students might approach them with AI, and develop strategies that integrate AI productively, such as assignments and in-class activities. We’ll highlight tools currently available to ASU students and faculty (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Notebook LM) and underscore that genAI does not replace faculty or student expertise – it amplifies it. Through modeling, think-alouds, and intentional design, we will help students use AI responsibly and creatively, developing not only skills with these tools but the deeper habits of mind required of future engineers, creators, and innovators.
