AI for Teaching and Learning

Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in December 2022, higher education has been buzzing with talk of, quite simply, what to do about it. Generative artificial intelligence tools—large language models such as ChatGPT, image generators like Midjourney and Dall-E, presentation generators like Decktopus and SlidesAI, as well as a whole host of AI assistants and disciplinary tools—are changing the landscape of education, and the ground is shifting all the time as new technologies continue to be developed.

Higher education is no stranger to disruptive technologies; it wasn’t too long ago that we were reckoning with cell phones, laptops, and calculators and adapting our pedagogy to meet these emerging trends.

Now, we are preparing for the next wave: AI isn’t going anywhere, and instructors are challenged with how to adapt their teaching to this new reality. More importantly, instructors—and higher education as a whole—have the opportunity to think deeply about what it means to educate students who will be living in a world filled with AI tools.

To help with this, Notre Dame Learning offers both video and written resources that instructors can consult as they think about AI in the context of their teaching:
