Report from Provost\u2019s Advisory Group on Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning<\/b><\/h4>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Artificial Intelligence Advisory Group was charged with examining the implications, opportunities, and challenges that Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents for teaching and learning at 秘密研究所. This group was asked to explore how AI can enhance teaching, learning, scholarship, and administrative processes while ensuring ethical, equitable, and responsible use. In all its deliberations, the advisory group prioritized the liberal arts mission of fostering critical thinking, ethical reflection, and holistic education, ensuring that AI serves the college\u2019s core values.\u00a0 Specifically, the advisory group considered academic integration, research and scholarships, ethical and responsible use, faculty, staff and student development, and student experience and opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Process and Summary\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Advisory Group met three times in the Fall 2024 semester and for a full day retreat in January 2025 to deliberate about its charge.\u00a0 The group ultimately decided to disseminate two documents to our community \u2013 an Ethics statement on AI in Teaching and Learning and this report with recommendations to the community. The recommendations in this report were developed to ensure that Ramapo effectively integrates AI into its educational mission. These recommendations should serve to help faculty and students navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI, including its role in critical thinking, ethical considerations, academic integrity, and skill development. By providing guidance on curriculum design, faculty and student development, and necessary resources, the group aims to support the college in preparing faculty and students for the evolving technology landscape while maintaining the values of a liberal arts education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommendation 1:\u00a0 Develop a statement of ethics on the use of generative artificial Intelligence in teaching and learning.<\/b><\/p>\n

The advisory group believes that it is important to set a statement of ethical use as a framework for all actions taken on campus in considering AI in teaching and learning.\u00a0 With the use of generative AI, the committee has developed a <\/span>Statement of Ethical Use of AI in Teaching and Learning<\/span> at Ramapo.\u00a0 However, we recognize that the statement is only a first step in consideration and adoption of AI. We suggest the following action items as next steps.<\/span><\/p>\n
