Using AI as Faculty: Practical Tools for Teaching and Everyday Tasks (Fall 2026)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to change how we work, teach, and communicate. But how can faculty use AI to make everyday tasks easier while still maintaining control over their courses and instructional decisions?

In this webinar, we will explore practical ways faculty can use AI to support their day-to-day responsibilities, including creating and improving assignments, developing course materials, writing student communications, providing feedback, and brainstorming new instructional ideas.

We will look at real-world examples of how AI can help save time, improve efficiency, and support teaching and learning. We will also discuss the importance of reviewing AI-generated content, understand its limitations, and use these tools responsibly.

The goal of this session is not to replace the work faculty do, but to demonstrate how AI can serve as an additional resource to help with the many responsibilities that come with teaching.

Whether you are new to AI or already experimenting with it, this session will provide practical examples and ideas you can begin applying to your own courses.
