Instructor Perceptions of Generative Text AI

The meteoric rise of generative text artificial intelligence has generated a number of reactions among faculty and staff in higher education ranging from tempered joy to something verging on despair. In an attempt to better understand the thoughts and feelings of the teaching body some members of the Markwood Center for Learning, Innovation, and Collaboration at the Jim Dan Hill Library administered a survey in Fall, 2023 as a SOTL project to gather data from teaching faculty and staff for use in our mission of faculty development. The results were interesting and yielded some actionable feedback for the unit.
