Faculty at Carleton who are interested in integrating an AI component into their teaching and learning can submit a proposal for up to $1,000 per person involved in the project (up to a maximum of $5000 per project) for time spent developing AI-focused learning activities. This might include (but is not limited to):
- Designing new courses that focus significantly on AI-related topics
- Redesigning existing courses to include an AI-based assignment or component
- Developing courses or course components that address complex topics around AI (e.g., machine bias, environmental sustainability, equity of access, etc.)
- Developing AI instruction and/or assessment across majors or programs
One grant can support an individual faculty member, or grants can be divided or combined for two or more faculty working in teams. Proposals from interdisciplinary teams or for department-wide projects are particularly welcome. Proposals may address courses at all levels and may be applied to faculty work with students outside of courses.
Grant recipients will be required to share their work publicly within the Carleton community in some way. This might include writing a blog post for the LTC website, leading an LTC lunch, sharing assignments or course materials on the WAC or AI@Carleton websites, or recording an episode of the Year of Curiosity podcast. Awardees can work out the details of this public engagement with the AI Core Team before or after the work funded by the grant is completed.
