Spring 2025 theme: GenAI in Purdue classrooms

The Teaching & Learning Community of Practice theme during Spring 2025 is generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models (LLM) in Purdue classrooms.

It has been a year since the release of Purdue’s Guidance on the Use of AI in Teaching and Learning and, as predicted, the technology and academia’s response to it has evolved quicker than previous disruptive technologies like computers in the classroom and the Internet. Back in January 2024, the guidance encouraged students and instructors to work together to innovate learning through AI. This spring, TLCoP explores what we’ve learned in 12 short months and will report out from each session with ideas, tools, and resources shared during our conversations.

Session Notes

Much as with computers and the Internet in the late 1990s, higher education both promotes and cautions the use of GenAI. Join the TLCoP for our first conversation of Spring 2025 as we work together to reframe academic integrity in the era of generative artificial intelligence. Discussion will focus on:

  • Developing actionable strategies to promote academic integrity in their courses. 
  • Identifying practical approaches for fostering ethical use of AI in teaching and learning.
  • Discussing specific challenges and opportunities for incorporating AI into course design.

Join our teaching & learning community

TLCoP meetings offer the unique opportunity to come together in an ongoing, flexible, and supportive environment to engage in conversation about a range of teaching and learning issues. In conversation with others from across a range of disciplines, at various stages in their academic careers, and with different kinds of experiences in the classroom, participants collectively explore pedagogical ideas and strategies that they can incorporate into their courses.

As a community of practice, TLCoP is open to any instructors who wish to learn more about teaching and learning and to those who wish to share their experiences with others. Graduate students, faculty, instructional support staff, or anyone who is passionate about teaching is welcome to attend any and all meetings. We’re thrilled to have you and to learn from one another!

TLCoP is an initiative of Purdue’s Innovative Learning Team, including the Center for Instructional Excellence, Purdue University Libraries and School of Information Studies, and Purdue University Online. Staff members from each of these teams make up the planning committee and lend expertise in pedagogy, educational technologies, information and research support, as well as augmented and virtual reality in the classroom. These committee members are available to advise instructors on additional resources and relevant services related to TLCoP meetings.

For any questions, please reach out to TLCoP’s staff facilitators, Amy Haston or Molly Kremer.
