Connecticut College AI and the Liberal Arts Symposium: Full Schedule

3:30pm EDT

Developing an AI-Focused Faculty Learning Community (FLC)

Saturday October 17, 2026 3:30pm - 4:00pm EDT

What is a faculty learning community (FLC)? Why is this model so relevant for the topic of AI and the Liberal Arts? This session proposes to answer these questions by introducing the FLC model, which brings together faculty and staff in a community of practice, and to argue for its relevance as a means of fostering interdisciplinary and collaborative connections, debates, and discussions, as well as practical outputs, in relation to the role of AI in higher education and more specifically in the Liberal Arts. Through a demonstration of how to form an AI-focused FLC, interactive activities, and shared resources, this session will leave the audience with the means of forming their own AI-focused FLCs at their home institutions, as well as giving audience members the opportunity to connect with colleagues from a variety of institutions who plan to undertake this same goal.
