In September, 2024, Microsoft started retiring Copilot With Commercial Data Protection and replacing this service with the new Microsoft Copilot with Enterprise Data Protection. This has changed the additional protections that were highlighted on this page.

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.

Here is the AI Syllabus Statement I am currently using in my courses. This may change, but thirds what works for me at the moment:

Work done for this course must adhere to the University Academic Integrity Policy, which you can review in the Student Handbook or by visiting Academic Integrity at DePaul University.

However, this is a course in which you are allowed to use generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) in your assignments – in some assignments I will require that you use generative AI. Please note that other courses at DePaul may not allow use of generative AI – always ask your professor in writing if you are unsure of what the academic integrity policies are for your course.

In this course we will demonstrate that generative AI will confidently fabricate information. This process is known as “AI hallucinating.” Be aware that AI-generated content may contain untruths. Large Language Models (LLMs) respond and write like humans, but importantly they do not know empirically what is false or true - just a plausible narrative written probabilistically. Crucially, a LLM may not understand the difference between an important error and an unimportant error.

Thus, I would like you to cite your use of generative AI when you submit your assignments. You can do this by creating an appendix and noting the prompts that you used with a particular LLM and the responses your received.

The process of citing generative AI is evolving. Please look at these three sources for guidance:

1. ChatGPT Citations | Formats & Examples
2. How do I cite generative AI in MLA style?
3. How to cite ChatGPT

I will be running another Tech Tuesdays with a focus on AI in May.

Are you ready to take your teaching and learning to the next level? Do you want to discover how artificial intelligence (AI) can help you create more engaging, effective, and personalized educational experiences? Do you want to see how AI can streamline some of the daily grind. If so, you don’t want to miss this Tech Tuesday.

Join us for “Better Living Through AI: How to Use Smart Tools to Enhance Your Teaching and Learning”, a one-hour Tech Tuesdays that will show you practical ways to use AI tools for faculty and staff. You will learn how to use AI tools for improve and simplify communication, assessment, and personalized learning. Using free and open-source tools to transform your teaching and learning outcomes.

We will have a particular focus on “prompt engineering” – the recipes that coax the optimal results from AI.

• Date: May 30
• Time: 12-1 PM
• Location: Flex (Zoom or DPC 8209)

Hope you can be there. You can register here.
