AI @ WMU
WMUx is Your Resource for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Information
WMUx, in partnership with a number of Western Michigan University experts, can help you learn more about recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) that are impacting how we teach and research in higher education.
Just beginning to learn about AI? Consult our Quick Start AI Guide that provides an overview, information on prompting, citation, ethics, and syllabus statements.
Concerned about academic integrity? Instructors are encouraged to remind learners of the institution’s policies on academic honesty and to direct their questions about the process that WMU has in place to resolve issues of academic honesty to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. For information on communicating your AI policies or working with your students to develop a policy, you can consult this resource: Establishing AI Policies for Your Classroom.
Factoring AI as you prepare for teaching, research, or creative activity? Consult our Teaching with AI articles, resources and events or contact us for a one-on-one consultation.
Teaching with AI
When considering the many new and ever-changing AI tools, their ubiquitous and exponential nature can make it difficult to know where to start and how they might be best used in the classroom. One way to approach Large Language Model (LLM) AIs like ChatGPT and Claude 2 is to think of them as assistants or thought partners. Explore articles on teaching with AI.
