Advancing Student Learning at CMU Through Generative AI - Michael Henninger, Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University’s Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation is launching a Generative Artificial Intelligence Teaching as Research (GAITAR) Initiative, which will include several new efforts to bring generative AI to classrooms across CMU. The Center launched a series of GAITAR Institutes to promote instructor-led innovations and educational research designs across diverse contexts. Additionally, the Eberly Center is now seeking applicants for its GAITAR Fellowship 2023. New to the Eberly Center’s portfolio of offerings, the GAITAR Fellowship provides $5,000 for a CMU instructor to design and implement a teaching innovation using a generative AI tool in a spring, summer or fall 2024 CMU course. They must then measure the impacts of the innovation on student learning and disseminate their findings at CMU and beyond. The deadline for applications is Nov. 1.
