The Clever Professor: How Generative AI Can Boost Faculty Productivity Online
Instructors: Amanda Gunlefinger, MS, Hannah Schapiro, PhD
Faculty members experience high rates of burnout due to the increasing demands of their roles. The Clever Professor: How Generative AI Can Boost Faculty Productivity explores how generative AI platforms can alleviate these pressures, allowing educators to prioritize effective teaching, scholarly work, and meaningful connections with students.
This session discusses simple strategies educators can use to enhance their productivity with generative AI. It will introduce faculty to the time-saving and multifunctional possibilities of generative AI tools including maintaining correspondence, generating exam questions, summarizing journal articles, and building custom GPTs for specific tasks. Attendees will also gain an understanding of AI’s limitations, including concerns about bias, hallucinations, and drift.
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
-
Demonstrate a foundational understanding of prompt engineering.
-
Critically evaluate the limitations of generative AI.
-
Integrate generative AI into academic workflows to increase productivity and prevent burnout.
