LEAD: Conversations on AI and University Learning (Institutional Learning)

What does thoughtful engagement with AI look like across the many dimensions of university learning? Throughout this academic year, faculty leaders from Butler’s Leadership, Ethics, and AI-Integrated Design (LEAD) initiative will invite the broader campus into the questions, ideas, and possibilities emerging from their work.

LEAD explores AI through five themes:

• Institutional Learning: AI’s relationship to Butler’s educational mission, Core Curriculum, and shared learning goals.
• Disciplinary Inquiry: How AI is changing knowledge, problem-solving, and teaching within specific disciplines.
• Knowledge Creation: AI’s impact on research, authorship, scholarly communication, and academic integrity. 
• Applied & Experiential Learning: AI’s role in learning through practice, experience, and engagement beyond the classroom.
• Liberal Learning: What AI means for critical thinking, creativity, ethical reasoning, and human flourishing.

Each session will focus on one theme, inviting participants to explore what faculty cohorts are learning, consider emerging practices, and wrestle with questions about AI’s place in university learning.

This session will focus on Institutional Learning, exploring the ideas, questions, and possibilities emerging from faculty cohorts working in this area.
