Hi Everyone,
My name is Jamie Joseph. I am a Lecturer in Psychology here at BMCC. I am emailing all of you as you may be familiar or highly experienced with Gen AI use and can recommend faculty members who might be interested in an event I am organizing as part of CETLS.
Before the Spring 2026 semester, I would like to host an event that aids faculty who are not already integrating Gen AI for instruction to develop course assessments that require students to prepare Gen AI prompts and/or evaluate Gen AI output. I envision a session where novice faculty are exposed to a few different Gen AI implementation examples from experienced faculty members for approximately 45 minutes. This will be followed by a one-on-one novice with experienced faculty member pairing for 30 minutes. During this period, the novice faculty members will seek informal guidance to adapt one of their course learning objectives or syllabi for a Gen AI Assessment Redesign workshop. It is my hope that we can continue to offer these sessions before each semester to encourage more faculty to use Gen AI as part of the learning process.
While I haven’t finalized dates, I expect faculty are most likely to benefit from this session before they begin planning their Spring 2026 course structure. Therefore, I am thinking about Tuesday, December 2nd or Friday, December 12th between noon and 1:30 PM or 1:30 and 3:00 PM. I am most happy to consider other dates that are suitable for your schedules.
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you know may be interested in sharing their implementation of Gen AI and offer faculty some guidance for this event.
Best,
Jamie
