VWU Selected to Join New Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum (09-19-2024)
Virginia Wesleyan University has joined 123 other higher education institutions to form the Institute on AI, Pedagogy, and the Curriculum. Established by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), this new, fully online institute is designed to help departments, programs, colleges, and universities respond effectively to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses and curricula.
According to the AAC&U, the institute will offer monthly meetings and webinars throughout the academic year to allow time for teams to interact with other campuses, address timely topics of interest, and provide updates on the status of AI. Each campus team will be assigned a mentor from the institute’s faculty. In addition to providing their perspectives, each faculty mentor can also connect the team with expertise from other institute faculty members as needed.
