For Faculty & Staff

Each step-by-step guide walks one job end to end. Artificial intelligence (AI) can take real work off your desk, and it can fabricate a citation in the same confident tone, so the checking is built into every guide.

Start with the Basics

The first four modules of the literacy pathway take about 45 minutes and cover the mechanism, the craft, and the policy: How AI Works, Prompting Fundamentals, The Policy in Practice, and Teaching and Assessment. The full pathway adds research, clinical, and agent modules.

Your Work, Your Judgment

Whatever a tool contributed, the work you sign is yours. Read AI-drafted teaching material as its content expert before students see it: models make confident errors, and students are the readers least placed to catch them.

Most drafting needs no identifying details at all. A memo about a process, a vignette built from invented facts, or feedback on an essay with the author's name left off usually gives the model enough to help with structure and wording, and any specifics you add yourself at the end stay with you. The AI Responsible Use Policy is the reference for patient, student, and personnel information, and Module 3: The Policy in Practice is a five-minute guide to it.

More Ways to Work

• Team-Based Learning (TBL)

  • Team-Based Learning Session Builder Drafts individual and team readiness tests (iRAT and tRAT) from your pre-work, then two or three application cases.

• After an Exam

  • Post-exam Item Analysis Reader Reads post-exam statistics from the numbers alone.
  • Shelf and NBME Score Reports Helps you advise a student from National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) INSIGHTS data, with an advisor note.

• Slides and Posters

  • Slide and Poster Tools Tools that draft or improve slides, posters, and diagrams.

• Stop Re-explaining

  • Standing Setups Keeps one project per course with your materials attached.
  • Your First Agent Session Covers file-based work.

• Documents, Decks, and Spreadsheets

  A skill runs its author's instructions on your files, so prefer ones from sources you know.

  • Agent Skills Claude's Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF skills, usually already on in claude.ai and Cowork.

• A Stack of Your Own Documents

  • Gemini Notebook Formerly NotebookLM: gives cited answers from your uploads; it is reliable for retrieval and less so for summaries.
  • Other Tools That Work from Your Documents Tools that answer from files you upload.

• Better Answers from Any Tool

  • Getting Better Answers Covers the three levers: context, memory, and standing instructions.
  • Choosing Your Interface Covers chat, working sessions, and code agents, and which one suits the job.

Staying Current

This Week rolls up the last seven days of curated news, videos, and podcasts. A weekly digest of highlights lands every Friday in the archive, and the Benchmarks section tracks how current models compare. The Conferences and Opportunities pages carry verified dates for meetings and open calls.

Shape the Site

The Committee Work and Updates page shows what the AI Committee is working on. More guides are planned; to request one, or to report anything wrong, missing, or confusing, use the feedback form (five questions, about two minutes). Prompts that work for you belong in the Prompt Exchange, and contributions that hold up in testing can be promoted into the library with credit.
