We’ve made a small change to the site that you should know about. Since people often seek out certain Saint Mary’s policies on the CELT site here, we decided to give those policies their own section! You can now reach the policies page very easily via the top menu. If you have a policy you think we should link up or one of our links is out of date, please let us know at CELT@smumn.edu.

How do we ensure that we shape tools to learners rather than learners to tools? This workshop will answer that question by providing a whole-person response to modern AI based on the ideal of a convivial society. Assignment sequences that prepare students to respond to AI with maturity will be demonstrated along with conversation on how aspects can be applied to different disciplines. Throughout, participants will work within a personal digital journal to apply principles from the session to their own formation of the students entrusted to their care. Participants will leave with a plan to promote human flourishing in their classroom through the integration of character education and virtue formation with mature technology adoption.

Event Details
What is your greatest hope for your students as they navigate the ethical complexity of modern AI and future emerging technologies? The answer to that question can guide your teaching as you refine plans for fall and think about redesigning for spring. This session invites participants to rethink course design according to the kind of persons we form, which will in turn include concerns regarding skill training, economic mobility, and the ability to thrive within society. Building on the initial course design ideas from past sessions, participants will refine their goals into formal learning outcomes, ensuring alignment with proposed AI-assisted assessments, and draft assignment sequences that integrate outcome-driven policies on student AI use.
