This workshop highlights three STEM educators who are actively incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in their courses through various means. Their presentations will cover their experiences, findings, and suggestions for AI implementation.
Dr. Lynette Williamson will begin by presenting methods on how to integrate AI in ways that effectively inspire creativity and critical thinking. Laying a framework for how AI is transforming STEM fields, Dr. Williamson will additionally introduce a toolkit for bringing AI into various STEM subject fields and class levels.
Dr. Tamara Tate will follow by presenting findings from her team’s IUSE:ESL project (#2314294) that looks at the presence of generative AI in writing-intensive STEM courses. Participants will leave with strategies for integrating generative AI into their courses in human-centered ways that scaffold learning and prioritize student agency.
Dr. Richard Weiss will close by discussing how he uses machine learning to give students timely feedback. Referencing his IUSE:ESL project (#2216492), Dr. Weiss will showcase their utilization of machine learning to help identify when students need assistance and encourage participants to think critically about how AI can be used to augment an instructor’s ability to give useful hints rapidly to a classroom of students.
