Faculty Forward: Powering Course Design Partnerships with GenAI

This session explores how Generative Artificial IIntelligence (GenAI) can enhance course development while upholding academic standards and learning outcomes. Based on extensive faculty collaborations across disciplines and varying levels of GenAI expertise, we present a backward design approach for thoughtfully integrating GenAI tools throughout the course development. Innovative Education Digital Learning' s approach guides instructors through mapping the course, developing content, and enhancing activities and assessments. Through real-world examples, we'll demonstrate how learning designers can help faculty adapt their pedagogical approaches to embrace GenAI's capabilities while maintaining academic rigor and authenticity.
