AI and Teaching | Resources
ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot, stirred debate across the higher education community,
with some claiming artificial intelligence will revolutionize education while others
see it as a significant threat. One thing is clear, and that artificial intelligence
is here to stay, and it will disrupt current practices, not just in writing, but in
the arts, software coding, and many other disciplines. It will become part of our
students’ future jobs, which create the need for a new kind of literacy. Higher education
must take a proactive role, engaging with this technology, shaping the ways we utilize
it, with a critical perspective and an ethical approach.
CETL compiled some external training opportunities for faculty interested in learning
more about Teaching with AI. Please also visit Digital Learning Innovations (DLI) and University Information Technology Services (UITS) for more information about artificial intelligence at KSU and in the classroom.

KSU faculty, staff, and students have access to take over 2,800 free MOOC (Massive
Open Online Courses) offered by certain Coursera partners at no charge. More information
on MOOCs can be found here.
Jeanne Beatrix Law, Professor of English at Kennesaw State University, has authored
several Coursera courses to help community stakeholders, students, and colleagues
engage ethically with generative AI for many different use cases. Please check out
the courses below:
AI for Everyday Life
Recommended Experience: Beginner
In this module, you will learn how to (1) craft an input and output using the prompt
engineering methods for generative AI, (2) articulate two methods of prompt engineering
for everyday uses, and (3) apply your knowledge to one prompt engineering method to
a real-world scenario.
AI for Grant Writing
Recommended Experience: Beginner
Learners will use generative AI to streamline every aspect of the grant writing process,
from crafting compelling solicitation letters to structuring detailed proposals. By
the end of this course, learners will be equipped to create high-quality, persuasive
grant proposals.
AI for Professional Communication
Recommended Experience: Beginner
This course will guide participants through the fundamentals of AI-infused professional
communication, including drafting emails, creating meeting agendas, summarizing documents,
and producing compelling social media content.
Ethical AI Use
Recommended Experience: Beginner
This course equips participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate
the ethical complexities of AI, empowering them to contribute positively to the development
and implementation of AI technologies in society.
AI for Education (Basic)
Recommended Experience: Beginner
Participants will be provided tested methods for prompting an AI Assistant, such as
GPT, Claude, and Gemini to yield useful, relevant, accurate, and ethical outputs.
Learners will gain a clear understanding of how to collaborate with an AI Assistant
and how to encourage students to do so in ethical ways.
AI for Education (Intermediate)
Recommended Experience: Beginner
This course expands on the AI for Education (Basic) course. Participants will learn
quick ways to refine prompt engineering methods for assignments and course design
that can be scaled to multiple levels of educational contexts.
AI for Education (Advanced)
Recommended Experience: Beginner
This course expands on the AI for Education (Intermediate) course. Participants will
learn quick ways to refine prompt engineering methods for assignments and course design
that can be scaled to multiple levels of educational contexts.
