1:00 Designing an Aligned Generative AI Assignment
Dr. Eric Bucher, CTE Faculty Director

This interactive workshop guides faculty through the process of designing aligned generative AI assignments using an Inventory of Tasks and Alignment Worksheet. Participants will examine the sequence of cognitive and procedural tasks students complete to produce a final learning artifact and identify which tasks are essential for assessment and which may appropriately incorporate generative AI tools. Drawing on a design-based approach, faculty will explore how to align learning outcomes, assessment priorities, and emerging GenAI workforce competencies in transparent and equitable ways. Through hands-on application of the worksheet, participants will develop a clearer understanding of what they are truly assessing in student work while creating assignment guidelines that communicate purposeful and ethical uses of generative AI. By the end of the session, participants will leave with a draft aligned AI-supported assignment strategy and practical tools for implementing transparent GenAI guidelines in their courses.

2:00 AI in Action: Tools to Support Faculty
Instructional Design & Technology

Description:
This hands-on workshop introduces faculty to AI-powered tools designed to support faculty in their work. Participants will see live demonstrations of practical use cases, learn how to apply recommendations from each tool, and have dedicated time to explore the tools firsthand with support from the Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) team. Whether you are brand new to AI or simply curious about how it can fit into your work, this workshop offers a guided, low-pressure space to discover how these tools can save time and enhance the support you provide to students.
 
Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
  1. Identify AI tools available to support faculty work.
  2. Describe practical use cases for each AI tool within their faculty role.
  3. Apply prompting strategies to generate useful, relevant outputs.
  4. Evaluate AI-generated recommendations and determine how to responsibly incorporate them into their practice.

3:00 Ignatian AI Verification Framework
Dr. Victoria Vogelgesang, CTE Co-Director

This interactive workshop explores how Ignatian Pedagogy can provide a meaningful and mission-centered framework for engaging artificial intelligence in teaching and learning. Rooted in the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm’s five dimensions of context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation, participants will examine how AI tools can support deeper learning while preserving the human-centered values at the heart of Jesuit education. This workshop invites faculty to thoughtful discernment and ethical integration of AI. Participants will explore practical strategies for using AI to foster critical thinking, reflection, creativity, cura personalis, and social responsibility while considering questions of equity, authenticity, and academic integrity. By the end of the session, participants will leave with concrete ideas for integrating AI into their teaching and professional practice in ways that align with the mission and values of Jesuit education.
