Are you curious about the potential of AI for teaching and learning?

Whether you’re interested in leveraging AI to support you with your teaching or using AI to support your students with their learning, the CTL is here to experiment with you. We’d love to hear your ideas and explore how we can partner with you or your department. Reach out to us at CTLfaculty@columbia.edu to start the conversation.

Find inspiration! Explore examples of AI for teaching and learning

The Teaching and Learning in the Age of AI site features ways to leverage AI for teaching, course design, and learning activities. View the playlist of video demonstrations, find sample prompts, explore resources for prompting AI and more.

Explore examples and share your experiences

Faculty across Columbia University are experimenting with AI in their courses and reimagining their course policies, assignments, and activities to refocus on student learning while transparently communicating expectations to their students about the use of generative AI. 

Check out faculty examples and contribute your own! Please reach out to the CTL at CTLfaculty@columbia.edu to share the ways you are leveraging AI in teaching and learning.

Join the conversation and experiment!
