Learning Communities
Interested in getting new ideas about teaching from peers around the institution? Want to try something new, but not sure how to get started or how to decide whether it’s working? Join a CITL Learning Community. The overarching goal of a learning community is for instructors to make informed changes that increase the effectiveness of their teaching with the support of a community of peers. The specificity of those changes will be directed by the participants themselves, with the learning community intended to provide collegiality, guidance, and resources.
2025-26 Faculty Learning Community
Are you curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming your field? Do you want to learn more about how to integrate AI into your teaching and research to better prepare your students for careers that include AI? CITL will be hosting a year-long
AI in the Workforce Faculty Learning Community during the 2025-2026 academic year, exploring current and potential future applications of AI in different disciplines.
By participating in this
Exploring AI in the Workforce Faculty Learning Community (FLC), participants will be able to:
-- Articulate how artificial intelligence is being used in their professional field
-- Explain what it means to prepare students for an AI-driven workforce
-- Design assignments that incorporate real-world AI use scenarios within their field
During the FLC, faculty/instructors will:
- Engage in readings and discussions about how AI is changing higher education and the workforce
- Explore AI literacy frameworks
- Engage with colleagues from different disciplines to discuss and explore AI applications in diverse fields
- Discover new ways to incorporate AI into curricula and improve student learning outcomes
This FLC is open to all faculty members interested in learning about AI, regardless of their current level of expertise. Whether you're a novice or an experienced user, you'll find valuable resources and support.
Participants will be expected to commit to participating in the following:
- A kick-off event during fall contract week
- Periodic Zoom meetings (roughly once a month) during Fall and Spring semesters
- A January check-in meeting
- A wrap-up event in May to share the results of your project
- Production of a one-page resource to share findings with the broader faculty community
Faculty who participate and complete the activities will receive a $500 stipend at the conclusion of the FLC (May 2026).
This FLC is full and applications are no longer being accepted.
