Project Abstract:
This multi-campus SUNY project supported faculty in designing and implementing responsible, discipline-specific generative AI learning experiences across 32 course sections, reaching 639 students in 25 academic disciplines. The project also expanded equitable access to professional GenAI tools at no cost to students and generated a substantial mixed-methods dataset that is now being analyzed to better understand faculty and student experiences with GenAI in teaching and learning.
