The DePaul AI Institute and the DePaul Center for Teaching and Learning are 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 first AI in Teaching Symposium on Friday May 31 at 1PM. For the first Symposium, up to 4 faculty members will be selected to present. Other proposals will be considered for future Symposia in the next academic year.

Here are the guidelines for the presentations:

• No more than ten minutes to present an AI assignment, practice, or concept that can be implemented in other courses taught at DePaul.
• No more than five minutes for Q&A.
• Written resources (overview, recommendations, links, etc.) must accompany each presentation. These will be shared on the web.
• Presenting faculty will attend the symposium at the DePaul Center to engage in a discussion and Q&A.

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.

If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please complete and submit the Qualtrics survey by April 26.
