Institute Teams

We recommend that teams consist of a team leader and four team members. We encourage you to select a senior administrator as your team lead; however, this is not a requirement for participation in the institute. Teams should include a diverse set of colleagues, including faculty who wish to employ new practices, policies, and pedagogies and/or adopt AI-related learning outcomes within their courses or curriculum. We encourage the inclusion of a senior academic leader from within the team’s context. Teams might also include instructional designers, center for teaching and learning staff, learning technologies professionals, or student affairs leaders as well as assessment and curriculum specialists and others with active roles in advancing AI, curricular reform, course design, student learning, and student success on campus. Although not restricted, a typical team minimum size would consist of five individuals.

The online application consists of questions about your institution and contact information for the team lead and team members. The heart of the application then consists of the following prompts:

You will also be asked for information regarding the senior leader who is funding your team’s participation in the institute.
