Generative AI in teaching & learning
Guidance, resources, and events to help instructors engage thoughtfully with AI tools and their impact on learning.
CTLM’s generative AI support is tailored to the questions, interests, and needs of academic departments as well as individual instructors. Contact us to request one-on-one consultations, customized departmental workshops, and more.
Our approach
UW-Madison students need knowledge, skills, and experiences to help them thrive in a world powered by generative AI. CTLM recognizes that there are differing views about the use of generative AI in teaching, as well as about AI’s broader social, environmental, and economic impacts. We do not take a position on whether instructors should use AI. Rather, we support instructors in exploration, understanding, and thoughtful use or non-use of AI in ways that best serve their teaching and learning contexts.
