Overview of Instructor Resources

Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT have presented challenges and opportunities to university faculty and students. The number of new tools continues to grow and AI is now embedded in familiar software. These tools may cause disruption, but they may also provide new ways to engage students in their learning and prepare them for life after graduation.
