A 60-minute interactive forum for Columbia Faculty and Graduate Student Instructors.

If you’ve heard the recent buzz about ChatGPT, a free, open-access tool, which has received widespread media coverage, you’re likely thinking about how this tool fits into your classes and conversations with students. Or, you may be wondering how your Columbia colleagues are considering this tool in their classrooms. You’re not alone!

Please join us for a “Teaching and ChatGPT Forum,” where the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and campus partners will share resources and facilitate an informal conversation about AI tools and their implications in the classroom. Our conversation will include brief openings from Kathy McKeown, Henry and Gertrude Rothschild Professor of Computer Science and Founding Director of Columbia’s Data Science Institute; Melanie Subbiah, Ph.D. Student in Computer Science and a lead author on the GPT-3 Paper, ChatGPT’s predecessor; Nicole Wallack, Director of the Undergraduate Writing Program and Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of English and Comparative Literature; and, Victoria Malaney-Brown, Director of Academic Integrity. The conversation will be facilitated by Amanda Irvin, Senior Director of Faculty Programs and Services at the Center for Teaching and Learning

We will leave lots of time for questions and conversation, so if you have a question you’d like to ask, please feel free to submit your question in advance. You are also welcome to ask questions live during the forum. In addition to the above respondents, there will be many colleagues in the room to share information, resources, and experiences.
