Generative AI-Related Tools for Faculty

With the rapid development of generative AI, which has been widely applied in educational technology, data analysis, language processing, image generation, and other fields, it has introduced innovative opportunities for teaching. It helps educators enhance teaching material design, expand learning resources, and foster diverse instructional methods. Therefore, to assist teachers in effectively utilizing generative artificial intelligence to improve teaching quality and guide students in developing proper digital literacy while upholding professional and academic values, these guidelines have been formulated to provide reference and direction for curriculum planning, textbook writing, learning assessment, and research applications.

1.Course Preparation

When preparing for class, teachers can effectively utilize AI tools to enhance course content. For example, they can use generative AI to summarize teaching materials, generate discussion questions, and design interactive Q&A sessions. Before class, teachers should clearly explain to students the guidelines for using AI and the requirements for proper citation to prevent the use of incorrect information or copyright violations.

ChatGPT-Quickly generates various types of content.

Grok-Suitable for staying informed about current events, presented in a humorous and straightforward conversational style.

Perplexity-Emphasizes data sources and provides highly efficient information integration.

2. AI Integration into the Curriculum

In both existing and newly designed courses, teachers can integrate AI into classroom instruction. For example, they can use generative AI or intelligent learning tools to collect and organize vast amounts of academic knowledge, quickly transforming it into clearly structured presentations, mind maps, or interactive teaching materials. This approach helps students grasp key concepts more efficiently and enhances their understanding and retention through visual presentations. Additionally, this approach reduces the time and effort teachers spend on preparation, allowing them to focus more on guiding critical thinking, facilitating problem-solving discussions, and conducting practical exercises, thereby further enriching the depth and breadth of learning.

Mapify-Quickly generate mind maps.

Gamma-By simply importing the report topic and related materials, users can create engaging and visually appealing presentations.

FlexClip-Enables users to quickly create short course videos using text (such as lecture notes) or relevant links.

3.Post-Class Review

To ensure that the application of AI in the course is both academically rigorous and ethically responsible, teachers can conduct reviews and make adjustments after class. In addition to verifying whether students have included appropriate annotations or citations in their assignments or papers, teachers and students can also evaluate the effectiveness and potential risks of AI use. After the course, students can be asked to provide feedback to help improve future classes.

Turnitin-Paper Comparison System for checking originality and preventing plagiarism.

Check Plagiarism-Enables users to verify whether articles, reports, papers, or other documents contain content that is duplicated or substantially similar to material from other sources.

Grammarly-Suitable for English content; it can correct grammar and spelling errors, detect plagiarism, and provide AI-generated writing suggestions.
