“From Chalkboards to Chatbots” Courses Available on Canvas

Both “From Chalkboards to Chatbots” courses are available on Canvas! These courses, initially launched in October 2023 for a SoTL study, explore the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot in education. Our findings from the Elkins SoTL Fellows cohort have shown significant benefits for both faculty and students in understanding and utilizing AI to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Faculty can easily integrate these resources into their courses or join as learners. Directions can be found here.
