TLCoP begins Aug. 21: Talking to your students about AI

This fall, the Teaching & Learning Community of Practice (TLCoP) extends the work of the 2025 Purdue AI Academy to build instructor knowledge and capacity in teaching and learning with artificial intelligence (AI). The first session, Thurs., Aug. 21, 11 a.m.-noon, will focus on Beyond the Syllabus: Talking with your Students about AI. This is a space to share ideas, ask questions, and explore how we can talk with students about AI in meaningful, practical ways. Registration for this Zoom session is required.

Each session of this fall’s TLCoP will feature work done in August, when the Innovation Hub, in partnership with the Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE), hosted approximately 80 Purdue instructors in a week-long academy that supported creative integration of AI tools into their teaching environments and practices.

The second session is scheduled for Mon., Oct. 6, 10-11 a.m. and will address AI in Course Design. Registration for this Zoom session is required.

The TLCoP sessions are not workshops or lectures, but conversations that extend the work begun during the AI Academy. Participants will also be connected with the Innovation Hub’s active network of faculty innovators who have successfully designed and deployed course (re-) designs and AI innovations. See the TLCoP website for session details and recordings of past sessions.

TLCoP is a program of Innovative Learning, Purdue’s hub approach to connect instructional teams to the resources they need to engage students, develop courses in any instructional modality, and enhance learning across the University. Innovative Learning members include CIE, Libraries and the School of Information Studies, and Purdue University Online.
