Artificial intelligence has been in our everyday lives for some time. Think of Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri voice assistants. They can be helpful to perform tasks.
Generative artificial intelligence has been researched for decades, but has not been widely implemented or discussed outside research circles. You may have experienced generative AI though predictive text (Smart Compose) in Gmail.
The UIS Syllabus and Assignment Icons, adapted from the Oregon State project, represent some approaches to generative AI use for course policies and assignments. Syllabus statements are also a great way to frame the conversation about generative AI with your students. As instructors, it is important to provide guidance on acceptable generative AI usage from the start of a course. Instructors are encourages to modify and adapt the descriptions to fit courses and assignments.
Please join us for the July Employee Development Session: App Cafe. This session will be presented by the Center for Online Learning, Research & Service.
This is a come and go opportunity to have a little fun learning about new apps that your colleagues across campus use for productivity, just for fun, lifestyle apps, apps for hobbies, finance, and news/reading. Door prizes and cookies will be available. There will be a special “lunch tray for apps” to fill. Those who fill their trays will be added to a drawing for special door prizes.
In July 2024, COLRS partnered with Human Resources to present the App Café for the Rise Employment Development series. This was a come-and-go opportunity to have a little fun learning about new apps that colleagues across UIS use for productivity, fun, lifestyle, hobbies, finance, and news/reading.
We were very grateful to have volunteers from our campus community share some apps that they love, and we hope you love them, too!
REMINDER: Faculty will no longer be able to access any Turnitin reports after July 27. Please review the information below.
COLRS and ITS are excited to announce that we will be transitioning to Copyleaks as our plagiarism and AI content detection tool.
