Download the Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI Course Guide
A free guide for faculty who want to teach more efficiently, make confident decisions about AI, and build sustainable teaching practices without adding more to their plates.
Why This Course Exists
Faculty are navigating more teaching demands than ever. Grading, lesson planning, and course administration consume time that could go toward research, student support, or simply maintaining a sustainable workload. At the same time, expectations around AI in the classroom remain unclear, and the guidance available is often too theoretical to be useful.
Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI was built to give faculty something more practical: clear strategies, immediate tools, and a structured approach to making sound teaching decisions regardless of where they stand on AI.
What is Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI?
Teaching Toolkit in the Age of AI is a four-week virtual course designed to help faculty make clear, sustainable choices about teaching, assessment, feedback, and workload. Rather than focusing on specific AI tools, the course emphasizes sound teaching judgment and adaptable practices that work across disciplines and institutional contexts.
The course is designed for instructors who are cautious about AI, actively using it, or still deciding how it fits their teaching. Participants leave with practical tools they can apply immediately, including a complete course syllabus, and a clearer approach to managing teaching work without lowering standards.
The course includes short videos, practical text-based resources, one live 60-minute webinar, and one live workshop with Q&A. Participants also have access to a peer accountability community and expert facilitation throughout.
- Efficient and sustainable: learn to spend less time on grading, lesson planning, and course administration without sacrificing student learning
- Judgment-centered, not tool-centered: build adaptable practices that hold up regardless of how AI evolves
- Immediately applicable: leave with a concrete plan and tools you can put to use right away
- Flexible on AI: whether you are resisting, selectively integrating, or experimenting with AI, this course meets you where you are
Who is this for?
This course is for faculty across disciplines and career stages who have teaching responsibilities and are looking for a more sustainable, confident approach to the work. It is particularly relevant for faculty who spend too much time on grading and course administration, faculty navigating uncertainty about AI in assignments and assessments, faculty balancing teaching with research, service, and personal time, and faculty who want to make clear teaching decisions without pressure to adopt a single approach.
Administrators looking for professional development options that directly support faculty workload and teaching effectiveness will also find this guide useful.
