Abstract

ChatGPT's mainstream debut in November 2022 sparked a seismic shift in education. Suddenly, educators faced a new challenge: how to teach and assess students in a world where AI could generate convincing text at the touch of a button. Recognizing this pivotal moment, a team at Collin College, supported by a Perkins Leadership Grant, sprang into action. Our mission? To harness the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for education. We assembled a diverse team of experts - from subject matter experts and librarians to accessibility gurus and administrative leaders. Together, we crafted this comprehensive GenAI guide, designed to empower both students and educators with the skills for responsible human-AI collaboration. Our journey didn't stop there. We partnered with Texas State Technical College to pilot the guide in their welding program, bringing AI literacy to a hands-on field. Now, we're excited to share this resource widely, gather your feedback, and measure its real-world impact on teaching and learning. Join us as we navigate this new frontier in education!
