> [!summary]+ Summary > The purpose of this presentation was to begin a discussion with staff from across the university about the potential for generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) in their work and support efforts with faculty in their respective areas. # Partners in the Creation of Learning Experiences **Delivery details:** <u>Date</u>: October 19, 2023 <u>Target audience</u>: University staff <u>Delivery format</u>: Remote/Zoom <u>Duration</u>: 30 minutes ## About the presentation This presentation was delivered to the Instructional Innovation Committee (IIC) as part of efforts to generate discussion with staff about the potential for generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) in future work, teaching and research support. The IIC is collection of Instructional Designers, Multimedia Producers, Educational Developers, and Instructional Technologists from all colleges/schools and other business units of the university. Since I was the point-person for genAI within the central library and in the process of looking for more staff partners to build programming with, I was excited to give this presentation when invited. Rather than talking about capabilities of genAI at the time, I framed the presentation around how genAI may be meaningful to members of the GW community. Furthermore, based on a World Economic Forum survey, I tried to highlight why us getting on-board with AI now would be important. I did not want to address what could be done with genAI tools because it was in high-flux and attendees were serving domains from across the entire university. As a way to generate discussion, I included near the back some slides that I was using in faculty presentations at the time. Such as actions/verbs that genAI could do across Bloom's taxonomy, tasks faculty and staff in higher-education could use genAI for, and some work from [Oregon State University](https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/faculty/artificial-intelligence-tools/blooms-taxonomy-revisited-v2-2024.pdf) drawing comparison between AI and human abilities. ## Slide deck <div class="container"><iframe class="responsive-iframe-sd" src="https://1drv.ms/b/c/13829E5D2EB238DE/IQRur56qV3r-QKwJJ5UgFYIBAYJ4272JBiWZUX_0wx_y_Bs" width="100%" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div> *Note: These slides were built with a custom slide deck that I made using Microsoft PowerPoint. Generative Artificial Intelligence (genAI) was not used to develop this presentation.

Responses beyond this were mixed as some staff were more sensitive to ethical issues than others. But participants reported having a sense of where to start in instructional/learning design. Attendance was 25 online. ## Resources The following were used to research the content of this presentation: - [World Economic Forum, The Future of Jobs Report 2023](https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2023/)
