A quick note for Driehaus College of Business faculty and staff: Josh Lund is no longer the Driehaus College of Business contact for course development and course redesign. Josh still works for the Center for Teaching and Learning (he provides Flex training for the college) but Erin Kasprzak is your new contact for course development and course redesign.

Erin Kasprzak is an Assistant Director of Instructional Technology and Program Development and a Learning Experience Designer at DePaul's Center for Teaching and Learning. In addition to regularly teaching her own online asynchronous course, she brings over a decade of experience in learning experience design to her support roles. She is excited to begin supporting the Driehaus College of Business in addition to her ongoing work with the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, the College of Science and Health, and the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences. Her research interests include Universal Design for Learning and the intentional implementation of academic technology.

The DePaul AI Institute is embarking on a series of signature events and collaborative resources that strategically and pragmatically integrate artificial intelligence into academic activities that promote student learning and enhance critical thinking skills. The AI in Teaching Symposiums are opportunities for DePaul faculty and staff to share and see how their colleagues have successfully utilized an AI activity or assignment into their teaching. Quick, simple, direct demonstrations that can be easily adopted in other courses at the university.

We are soliciting proposals from interested faculty members who would like to develop a brief presentation (along with accompanying resources) and present to the university community at the second AI in Teaching Symposium. The deadline for submission is Monday, September 23.

For the second symposium, up to 4 faculty members will be selected to present. The Symposium will be held on Friday, October 18, from 1-3 PM at the DePaul Center.

Here are the guidelines for the presentations:

1. No more than ten minutes to present on an AI assignment, practice, or concept that can be implemented in other courses taught at DePaul.
2. No more than five minutes for Q&A.
3. Written resources (overview, recommendations, links, etc.) must accompany each presentation. These will be shared on the web.
4. Presenting live from the DePaul Center during the Symposium.
5. A high-quality recording of your presentation to be shared on a library of instructional AI use cases on the Institute’s Web site (the recording can be completed after the symposium but prior to the end of the fall quarter.

Presenters will be awarded a $500 honorarium.

The Symposium will be offered in a Flex format. The sessions will be recorded, but the recording will be only shared with DePaul faculty and staff in a password protected streamed format. The high-quality recordings of the presentations for the use case library will be recorded in the Driehaus College of Business’ video studio on the 8th floor of the DePaul Center. The time commitment for this effort would be a 15-minute Zoom call prior to recording, and then 45 minutes on the day of recording. Your assets and recording would then be publicly shared to the web.

The deadline to apply is 5PM Monday September 23. You can apply here.

You can register for the event here. Please note: The event is for DePaul faculty and staff only.
