"As more employers identify uses for generative artificial intelligence in the workplace, colleges are embedding tech skills into the curriculum to best prepare students for their careers. But identifying how and when to deliver that content has been a challenge, particularly given the varying perspectives different disciplines have on generative AI and when its use should be allowed. A June report from Tyton Partners found that 42 percent of students use generative AI tools at least weekly,"
"The University of Mary Washington developed an asynchronous one-credit course to give all students enrolled this fall a baseline foundation of AI knowledge. The optional class, which was offered over the summer at no cost to students, introduced them to AI ethics, tools, copyright concerns and potential career impacts. The goal is to help students use the tools thoughtfully and intelligently, said Anand Rao, director of Mary Washington's center for AI and the liberal arts."
Colleges are embedding generative AI skills into curricula as employers identify workplace applications and students increasingly use AI tools for coursework. Surveys show widespread student use: 42 percent use generative AI weekly and 85 percent used it for coursework, often for brainstorming. The University of Mary Washington created an optional asynchronous one-credit course available over the summer to give students a baseline in AI knowledge. Course modules covered AI ethics, tools, copyright, prompt use, academic integrity, professional development, and career impacts. The pass-fail credit course combined videos, readings, discussions, and quizzes and showed early evidence that students learned and want major-specific instruction.
