AI @ WMU
Navigating Artificial Intelligence in Teaching and Learning
WMU Teaching and Learning, in partnership with a number of University experts, can help you learn more about recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that are impacting how we teach and research in higher education.
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.

Teaching with AI
Articles
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.
AI Mini-Grants
In spring 2025, WMU Teaching and Learning awarded a series of AI Teaching Innovation Mini-Grants to select faculty to support the development and piloting of AI-integrated teaching innovations. Each grant supports the implementation of one innovation in a course taught during Summer I, Summer II, or Fall 2025. By December 2025, recipients will share their outcomes through a conference presentation or a WMU Teaching and Learning-sponsored teaching and learning workshop.
