Welcome to Elevate, the capstone certification of the Teaching with AI series. You have built a solid foundation and integrated AI into your course design; now it is time to innovate. This 8-10 hour advanced AI pedagogy course is for experienced faculty who want to push the boundaries of their teaching practice and explore the creative frontiers of human-AI collaboration in education.
In Elevate, you will learn to design sophisticated, high-impact learning experiences such as capstone projects and renewable assignments where AI acts as a co-creator. We will explore how AI can be a powerful tool for fostering inclusive pedagogy and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), helping you create more accessible and equitable classrooms. You will also grapple with complex, discipline-specific ethical edge cases and develop your voice as a local leader in AI-enhanced teaching. Upon completion, you will have a signature, innovative teaching artifact and a clear plan for your next steps toward institutional leadership or the AI Teaching Fellowship.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this certification, you will be able to:
- Design complex, multi-stage learning experiences (e.g., capstone projects) that leverage AI as a collaborative partner.
