Using AI for Effective Course Design - Homepage
This mini site is intended for a student project and is in development through the Spring 2026 semester. Please note there may be gaps in the site content as it is being developed. This paragraph will be removed when development is complete around June 2026.
Artificial intelligence tools are rapidly changing how faculty design courses, develop materials, and support student learning. While these tools offer significant potential, many faculty are still exploring how to use them effectively, efficiently, and in ways that align with sound instructional practices. This resource is designed to help you move beyond experimentation toward intentional, informed use of AI in your teaching.
This site focuses on practical applications of AI for course design. You will find examples, prompts, and strategies that can help you streamline common tasks such as writing learning objectives, developing assessments, and organizing course content. The goal is not to replace your expertise, but to support it by showing how AI can enhance your workflow while maintaining instructional quality.
This resource is intended for Xavier faculty with varying levels of experience using AI tools. Whether you are just getting started or looking to refine your approach, you can use this site to explore strategies that fit your needs and teaching context.
You do not need to move through this site in a specific order. Each section is designed as a standalone resource that you can access based on your immediate goals. You may choose to begin with foundational concepts or jump directly to areas such as course design, assessment, or evaluating AI-generated content. You can also use the site navigation to easily navigate to each page.
