ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT NORTHWESTERN

Overview of Instructor Resources

You have doubtless heard about ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools that have burst onto the scene this year. These new tools may cause a period of disruption for instructors and students, especially as the field is growing very rapidly and we anticipate encountering new tools on a regular basis. At the same time, GAI tools can also provide instructors new ways to engage students in their learning and prepare them for life after graduation.

This website is intended to acquaint you with GAI and to give you some suggestions for its use in the classroom. Each page on this site can serve as a standalone resource based on your background knowledge and teaching goals. If you want to approach the content sequentially:

• Start with background information about GAI: What is it and what are some of the ethical implications?
  • Understanding the Language
  • Ethics and Bias
  • Guidance on the Use of AI
• Then move on to how you might address GAI on your syllabus: Will you allow students to use it for coursework and, if so, what are your expectations?
  • Instructor Options
  • Talking with Students about GAI
  • Academic Integrity and GAI
• Generative Artificial Intelligence and Assignments
• Generative AI as a Study Partner
• Generative AI as a Teaching Preparation Partner
• Resources
  • Teaching Guides from the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching
  • Northwestern Writing Program AI Resources
  • Using AI Tools in Your Research from the Northwestern Libraries
  • Generative AI Tools to Know and Test
  • Videos and Resources from Northwestern's Summer 2023 Workshops on Generative AI

These pages will be updated, and new pages will be added as GAI evolves.
