At the Forefront
UNC Charlotte is harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence to enhance teaching and learning—and, most important, propel the success of our students. Faculty members from all disciplines have access to resources for mastering course-appropriate AI tools and their responsible use. By taking advantage of professional development opportunities in this surging technology, full-time and adjunct faculty members gain the expertise to determine the AI tools that best support their students’ needs—and communicate clear guidance about acceptable use.
