Upcoming AI Events

From curiosity to course redesign: AI support for faculty at every stage

AI Teaching & Learning Initiatives at UTA

Upcoming AI Events at CRTLE

Artificial intelligence is rapidly shaping how we teach, learn, and assess—and CRTLE is here to help faculty engage with AI thoughtfully, ethically, and practically.

This spring, CRTLE is offering a series of AI‑focused workshops, institutes, and test‑kitchen experiences designed to support faculty at every stage—from those just beginning to explore AI tools to those ready to redesign courses and assignments with AI in mind. Our programming emphasizes pedagogical purpose over hype, grounding AI use in disciplinary contexts, student learning outcomes, and academic integrity.

In addition to CRTLE‑hosted events, this page also highlights related AI programming and communities across campus and beyond. This includes ongoing initiatives such as Pondering AI, the OIT AI Community of Practice, and select external opportunities (e.g., EDUCAUSE webinars and national conversations). Together, these offerings provide multiple entry points for faculty to engage with AI—locally, collaboratively, and at scale.

Across these events and communities, faculty will:

  • Explore productive and responsible uses of AI in teaching and learning
  • Design AI‑enhanced lessons, assignments, and assessments
  • Examine AI’s role in critical thinking, student engagement, and productive struggle
  • Learn alongside colleagues through hands‑on sessions and sustained communities of practice
  • Engage with campus‑based and national perspectives on ethical, transparent, and equitable AI use

Programs, Opportunities & Resources

Signature offerings include the CRTLE AI Course Redesign Institute, interactive Technology Test Kitchen sessions, focused workshops such as Productive Struggling and Critical Thinking with AI, and opportunities to connect through Pondering AI and the OIT AI Community of Practice.
