Course Redesign is a project that will only be offered to those faculty members who complete the AI Intensive Course and want to make significant changes through course redesign. Faculty who participated in the AI Literacy Course will have the opportunity to apply for an additional stipend to support the implementation of AI-informed course redesigns. Successful applicants will work on a selected course where they integrate AI tools and digital literacy strategies into their curriculum. They will document their process and outcomes, which will contribute to a larger institutional knowledge base on AI integration in teaching.
Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze and evaluate the role of AI in higher education and its impact on pedagogy, assessment, and student engagement.
- Develop AI literacy skills, including ethical considerations, data literacy, and AI-generated content evaluation.
- Implement AI tools to enhance instructional design, teaching methodologies, and student engagement strategies.
- Make significant redesign to a course, incorporating AI and digital literacy components in instructional delivery, resources, assignments, or assessments.
- Engage in reflective practice and contribute to a community of practice that fosters continuous learning and collaboration around AI integration in education.
Parameters:
- Up to 12 faculty members will be selected based on their submissions in a call for proposals/grant applications.
- Participants must complete a minimum of 80% of the AI Literacy Course, including the final project, to apply for the Course Redesign Grant.
- Participants will be given one semester (Spring 2026) to complete the course changes with the expectation that those changes will be applied to the following semesters (Fall 2026 and/or Spring 2027).
- Participants will be provided with continued support from the CFE and CIE staff including frequent check-ins to see what additional resources are needed.
- Participants who successfully complete the requirements will be provided with a stipend,
- Faculty members who apply for and are awarded the stipend for Course Redesign are not eligible for the 2025-2026 AI Mini Grant.
Dissemination of Learning and Course Redesign Presentations
Faculty who received funding for course redesign will present their learning and implemented changes. This live event will provide an opportunity for faculty to showcase their work, share insights, and inspire others to integrate AI into their teaching practices. The event will also serve as a networking and knowledge-sharing opportunity for the broader academic community.
