- Averett is actively providing faculty and staff professional development on using generative AI for instructional design and prompt writing
- The sources describe these uses as encouraged professional-learning resources, not mandatory rules, and they frame AI as a tool to support instructional design, student learning, and time savings
This year, a substantial focus for our project is providing ongoing professional learning opportunities on AI in Education specific to teaching and learning.
Each month, the AI Committee will share resources on utilizing generative AI to support our instructional design, enhance student learning and save time. This video shows how Chat GPT can be used as a thought partner in the instructional design process.
On behalf of the AI Committee, this month’s professional development topic is “Producing Purposeful AI Prompts.” Dr. Slade Lellock, assistant professor in the department of sociology and criminal justice, invites you to a short presentation on effective prompt-writing practices for use with ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools. The presentation provides tips for improving clarity, precision and creativity.
- Averett has an AI Committee and a campus AI initiative tied to an institutional project on harnessing artificial intelligence across the campus
- The sources describe an ongoing strategy centered on professional learning, feedback collection, and monthly AI resources, but they do not set out a formal university-wide AI policy framework
How to Harness AI Across the Campus

Our team includes Slade Lellock, April Love, Doug Wohlstein, student representative Fermin Borbua-Watson and myself.
