Recentering Student Learning in the Age of AI

Arts & Sciences welcomes faculty, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students from across all schools and disciplines to attend this half-day session. In the spirit of the A&S principles on Artificial Intelligence and Undergraduate Student Learning, this symposium considers how we can prioritize, support, and enhance student learning in the age of AI. As artificial intelligence technologies evolve, they present us with fundamental questions about whether, how, and to what extent these tools can or ought to be used in educational settings. When AI is employed thoughtfully by students and instructors it facilitates rather than bypasses the learning process.

The keynote lecture will be provided by Jeff Greene, Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development and McMichael Professor at the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a leading expert on self-regulated learning, epistemic cognition, and digital literacy. In addition, A&S faculty will share how they are responding to and integrating AI in the classroom and a panel of A&S undergraduate and graduate students will discuss AI and learning.
