Teaching with AI Learning Community (TALC)

The Teaching with AI Learning Community (TALC) is a collaborative space for educators to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into their professional practices. This initiative combines asynchronous training with in-person workshops, curated to the needs and interests of faculty/staff looking to leverage AI technologies to enhance teaching effectiveness, student learning outcomes, and student success. Members engage in the study of pedagogy through the completion of ACUE courses, collaborate and share teaching with AI approaches, and implement these approaches as part of their courses or other student-centered experiences.  

The program consists of three (3) tiers of participation,and you choose how far you want to go. Completion of all three tiers results in a $500 award and a chance to share your work with your peers. 

You are not required to complete all three tiers to participate in any of the tier activities, but you are required to do so to receive the award. We welcome any and all to join us along this path and to be a part of this community.
