This workshop is designed for educators who want to help students learn how to formulate meaningful questions as researchers and thinkers in the liberal arts while creating classroom spaces where critical engagement with AI can occur.First we will share artifacts from Pratt Institute classrooms that highlight faculty and student exploration of new forms of inquiry. Second, we will introduce conceptual maps created within our faculty learning community as tools for “charting new courses” in an AI-infused educational landscape. Together, these artifacts model an open, experimental, and collaborative approach to learning that prioritizes process over product and illuminates the power of the human dimension of education in response to the current technological shift. After discussing these materials, participants will engage in a conceptual mapping activity adapted from our faculty learning community, followed by reflection and assessment exercises that can be applied in their own teaching contexts.
