The CCTL is available to discuss and provide guidance on the teaching and learning implications of AI for anyone in an instructional role at the University - faculty, instructional professors, graduate students instructors, and so on.
This annual program focuses on the pedagogical implications of AI, which continue to evolve as these tools and technologies develop and as instructors and students learn more about them. At this two-day event, faculty and instructors are invited to join the CCTL, Academic Technology Solutions, and the Library for a series of conversations and presentations as we take stock of the current pedagogical landscape as shaped by AI.
The CCTL offers confidential consultations for UChicago faculty, instructors, and graduate student instructors to support their teaching, including on topics related to AI in the classroom such as course, syllabus, and assignment design, assessment strategies and challenges, or any other pedagogical topics related to teaching in the evolving AI landscape. Consultations and support are also available for departments, divisions, and other units engaged in teaching and learning at the University, including on topics such as curricular and course design, assessment strategies and challenges, unit-wide AI guidelines, or any other pedagogical topics related to teaching in the evolving AI landscape.
The CCTL provides a suite of workshops that departments, units, and other groups of faculty and instructors may request, including on the pedagogy of AI. Available workshops in this area include Pedagogical Challenges and Opportunities in the Wake of AI, and Crafting and Communicating Course AI Policies. All workshops provide the opportunity for participants to learn and discuss with colleagues how to address this evolving challenge.

Pedagogical Challenges and Opportunities in the Wake of AI
What are the pedagogical implications of the ready availability of AI tools? In this session, we will take up the considerations that shape how we might approach this in our teaching, opening up a discussion of a range of possible responses. The session will focus on the questions, concerns, and current strategies of those in attendance.
Crafting and Communicating Course AI Policies
What kind of policy on AI usage will help to support student learning in a particular course? How can we communicate those expectations clearly and transparently to students? This session will take up these and related issues, and will invite those in attendance to share and discuss their current or proposed course AI policy.
Teaching in the AI Landscape Canvas Course
This open-enrollment Canvas site is the product of an ongoing collaboration across Academic Technology Solutions (ATS), the Chicago Center for Teaching and Learning (CCTL), and the Library to provide, in one place, a set of ideas and resources to support faculty and instructors in thinking through the teaching and learning implications of artificial intelligence. These offices host the annual program on Teaching in the AI Landscape, and the aim of the Canvas site is to provide a concise, asynchronous overview of the key information and ideas presented at that event.

Syllabus Statements on AI
This resource offers considerations that might shape how instructors craft a syllabus statement about AI tools, followed by example statements covering a range of approaches. The staff in the CCTL are always available for one-on-one consultations to discuss and provide feedback on the policy for your course.

Syllabus Statements on AI from UChicago Faculty
Additionally, the CCTL hosts a platform for those in the UChicago teaching community to share their AI syllabus statements. The purpose of this resource is to make it easier for faculty and instructors to share their statements and to see the range of statements and policies used in other UChicago courses.
