AI Academy


The Innovation Hub, in partnership with the Center for Instructional Excellence, is offering a week-long summer AI academy to support college-based teams of faculty in deepening their capacity to creatively integrate AI tools into their teaching environments and practices. With support from Purdue content experts, attendees will have dedicated time and resources to develop and implement AI-enabled enhancements to a course of their choosing. The program will include formal presentations with campus experts and resources, dedicated time to experiment with tools and materials in a self-directed manner and facilitated small group sessions that support the sharing of ideas and best practices within college cohorts. Participants will also be connected with the Innovation Hub’s active network of faculty innovators who have successfully designed and deployed course (re-)designs and AI innovations
