"Yet, for my money, regardless of where you are, you'll be hard-pressed to find people who are more embedded in the discourse about AI in education, who are more knowledgeable about it in multidimensional ways, who experiment with and use AI tools daily, and who are more expert in both the scholarship and day-to-day realities of education across the institution."
"In response to the question, I'd venture that CTLs come into the story about AI in higher education before ChatGPT altogether. For years, we've engaged in critical and scholarly approaches to technology beyond how-to and best practices towards larger inquiries about how digital tools, platforms and infrastructures affect our capacity to learn, grow, connect and act in the world. Those are the waters in which we swim. From that history, CTLs were able to engage generative AI with nuance from the outset."
Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) are deeply embedded in AI education discourse and combine scholarship, practice, and daily experimentation. CTL staff act as polymaths—scholars, practitioners, educators, and curious minds—who navigate diverse epistemic grounds. CTLs approached generative AI with nuance informed by long-standing critical and scholarly work on educational technologies. At the University of Kentucky, the Center for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching began offering information sessions, focused workshops, discussion forums, and play sessions in the first week of 2023. CTLs therefore serve as central sites for vision, strategy, and practical engagement with AI across institutions.
