AI recommendations (especially for ASU faculty)

We are partnering with the Teaching Innovations Exchange (TIE) of ASU's School of Applied Professional Studies to have our LIL website serve as a hub for:

• • • A.I. resources within ASU.

    • Classroom AI tools and professors’ apps.

    • Presentation tools (e.g., Copilot AI for Ppt).

    • A.I. recommendations for students.

    • AI as a research tool (above board & properly cited).

    • AI for translation (other languages… and the obtuse “language of academese”?)

    • Our ongoing, evolving discussions of the ethical dimensions of AI, its role in learning (and in potential “unlearning” or anti-) and its implications for the Integrity of our course.

    • Links to external AI resources.

    • Examples of AI in everyday business use (as basic AI literacy for our graduates / anyone on the professional job market today).
