AI Tools for Teaching & Learning Testimonials

  • Thank you for such an engaging class! I enjoyed the great learning experience.
  • While I am still very intimidated by AI, I am glad that I received a basic understanding of how AI works and how to approach its use in the classroom.
  • Thank you for the guidelines; and most importantly, for the valuable list of resources.
  • I think that for F2F semester, my initial thoughts on the work assignments have not changed, BUT, my explanation of the why and the how has become a lot more detailed and opened up my eyes to further exploration and use of AI examples in the classroom.
  • I want us to learn together also, so I will be holding more live examples in the classroom. We will ask GPT instead of Alexa!
  • I am now open to exploring the AI possibilities without fear! In addition, I am continuing my learning - as it seems there is a new course and webinar every day hitting my inbox.
  • I was thinking previously that I would teach my class as though AI does not exist, but this is seeming like a missed opportunity.
  • My original thought was that we needed to know about AI to help students. Now, I think we all have to learn about AI to help ourselves. We can use AI for many things in education, and I am excited about the opportunities.
  • I have always been a fan of the practical utilization of AI within coursework when assignments and activities can be prepared to incorporate it. AI will be infiltrating almost every facet of society moving forward, so it is the responsibility of educators to teach practical and ethical use for their students moving forward. I stand by these ideals of finding ways to incorporate AI in higher education.
  • I imagined allowing students to use GenAI tools and this course helped me solidify that decision.
  • I came with zero understanding of or experience with AI and I now feel empowered to use it as the tool that it is.
  • I'm so pleased that more of our CSU colleagues will be able to take this course this summer--I'll be sharing that information at my department meeting.
  • I agree with you that this course has been a very enriching experience with lots of information and various ideas to enhance our teaching using AI.
  • After taking this course, I feel more comfortable using AI myself and I would like to actively incorporate AI into classroom assignments.
  • After taking the course, I learned the basics of AI, various AI tools, including generative AI tools for text and image, AI detectors, and various resources for developing my own AI policy and continuing learning. I am now more certain and confident that I want to allow students to use AI tools to help them complete assignments in my classes, as long as those tools can be used ethically and responsibly.
  • I have thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. I learned quite a bit. The facilitators were amazing and accommodating.
  • At the beginning of the course, I was not even considering allowing students to use AI in their assignment and the policy I had previously incorporated was strictly against the use of any AI tool in assignments. The course has helped me identify ways to allow the use of AI but more so to educate students about the limitations of these tools.
  • This has been a fabulous course and includes so many valuable resources that I'll be busy with them for some time!
  • Thank you for a really fun mini semester! I really enjoyed the course/learning material and I’m sad it’s done already.
  • I was fascinated to learn about the Humanizing feature of DetectGPT, which we studied in Module 3. So fascinated that I wanted to see how it worked, without paying the upgrade fee.
