ENG 527 Teaching with and against AI
This course examines teaching in an era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence, using AI as a lens for exploring what teaching is, what it requires, and what it produces. As practicing educators, you will examine how AI intersects with the human work of building relationships, responding to students, differentiating instruction, and making professional decisions. The course progresses from foundational concepts about AI and its impact on education to practical applications including prompting, tool selection, accessibility, differentiation, materials development, assessment, and inquiry-based learning. Ethical questions, including those related to agency, responsibility, and personhood, are integrated throughout the course. The course culminates in a capstone project in which you design and build an AI assistant that reflects your knowledge, teaching philosophy, ethical commitments, and professional identity.
