The digital instruction specialist has constructed this collection of resources related to generative AI in order to help faculty learn about the capabilities of the technology in connection to teaching and learning.
What is Generative AI?
As described by when asked, 鈥淲hat can generative AI do?鈥:
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, such as images, music, text or even video, without explicit instructions from humans. Here are some examples of what generative AI can do:
- Generate images: Generative AI can create realistic images of objects, landscapes or people that do not exist in reality.
- Create music: With generative AI, it is possible to compose new pieces of music, even mimicking different styles and genres.
- Generate text: Generative AI can write articles, stories and even entire books based on a given topic or prompt.
- Create video: Using generative AI, it is possible to create videos that simulate human movements, facial expressions and gestures.
- Design new products: Generative AI can create and test multiple designs of new products and prototypes, saving time and resources in the design process.
- Assist with research: Generative AI can help researchers analyze and interpret data, creating new insights and discoveries.
Overall, generative AI is a powerful tool that has a wide range of applications across many industries, from entertainment and art to healthcare and science.

AI is changing how researsch is done in academia. The following tools can be used to find relevant publications, map research trends, and develop new research questions.
How can It impact Teaching & Learning?
As the mission of 换妻社区 states, our goal as educators is to 鈥渆ducate students for lives of leadership and service in a global society through academic and co-curricular programs of recognized excellence in the liberal arts and in the context of the historic Christian faith.鈥 Encouraging students to be critical thinkers and consider arguments from multiple perspectives will prepare them to be more humane in a digital world. We should consider how Joseph E. Aoun, president of Northeastern University, describes preparing students for the digital world in his book 鈥溾
