Abstract

The impact of ChatGPT and other Generative Al technologies on the role of an Instructional Designer prompted a quest to understand the pros and cons of Al for course development. Despite initial enthusiasm from some educators, many instructors resisted Al, expressing concerns about assignments, academic integrity, and Al-induced hallucinations. The workshop is designed for faculty members who may feel overwhelmed by the myriad uses of Al in education or simply lack interest in Al tools. It offers nuanced approaches to assignments, emphasizes fostering digital literacy for academic integrity, and explores turning Al-induced hallucinations into teaching tools. The workshop also underscores GenAl's potential to reduce instructor workload by serving as an assistant in tutoring, brainstorming, and planning. To facilitate first steps with GenAl, two user-friendly tools, Teaching Tools and Perplexity, were featured. Positive responses indicate a growing interest in integrating Al into course design with ongoing efforts to address concerns and explore its potential.
