SAMI brings together Fink’s Taxonomy, the Socratic methods, and generative AI to guide learners through meaningful inquiry in BoodleBox. By nurturing curiosity, clarity, and academic momentum, SAMI creates a learning space where every student feels motivated, included, valued, supported, and capable of thriving in Information System.

This lesson, targeting Mastering College Academics II, explores utilizing AI as a “co-pilot” rather than an “auto-pilot”. Students are introduced to prompt engineering to enhance study habits, specifically time management. By practicing effective prompting and critiquing outputs, learners will ensure technology supports education without replacing the essential learning process.

Can AI-generated 3D models, accessed through augmented reality, function as reference material for observational drawing? This project transforms illustrations from De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Andreas Vesalius into AI-generated 3D models, evaluating how spatial interaction shapes perception, visual interpretation, and mark-making.

This project develops and implements a mission-centered instructional model that positions generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a structured study partner rather than a content generator in undergraduate psychology courses. Rather than treating institutional mission as a contextual backdrop, this work advances it as a guiding framework for AI integration, using the mission of Seton Hill University—human dignity, compassion, intellectual growth, and ethical responsibility—as criteria for designing and evaluating instructional practices.

Project Pandemic is a student-led simulation where "Evolutionary Architects" engineer hypothetical super-pathogens. By analyzing real-world virulence factors and using AI to model epidemiological spread, students explore host-pathogen interactions and selective pressures. The project culminates in an optional "arms race," requiring strategic mutations to survive global public health interventions.

This project explored real-time AI-based animation by integrating TouchDesigner and Stable Diffusion's SDXL model. Live webcam silhouettes are transformed into high-fidelity space imagery trained from photos taken by the James Web Space Telescope. The project examines how generative AI can procedurally map our galaxy onto human movement.

To prepare students as future healthcare providers, they should have undergraduate preparation in AI and the use of AI in healthcare and nursing. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Baccalaureate Essentials for Nursing accreditation acknowledges technology as a critical domain for nursing education. Utilizing current evidence regarding curriculum design and expert recommendations for AI integration into nursing education, this project demonstrates an assignment utilized in the sophomore level of the Seton Hill University Nursing Program and how it aligns with current evidence, recommendations, and current best practice regarding AI in nursing education.

This project develops three practical handouts (hardcopy and softcopy) that teach students to use AI responsibly for career development, including exploration, resume and cover letter writing, and interview preparation. The project emphasizes ethical use, critical evaluation, and student ownership while providing structured and useful prompts for use during advising sessions.

AI is rapidly reshaping the field of orthodontics, including diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient management. This presentation provides orthodontic residents with an overview of core AI concepts and current clinical applications. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of human clinical judgement and ethical responsibility in an increasingly automated environment.
