Redesign one course for the AI era

The CORE+AI Design Program is a faculty design collaborative that supports instructors in thoughtfully redesigning core components of their courses for an AI-responsive learning environment. Rather than focusing on AI tool adoption, the program positions faculty as scholarly designers: over three months, participants identify a meaningful instructional challenge in one of their own courses, such as assessment, feedback, student writing, or critical thinking, redesign the relevant course components, and document the reasoning behind their decisions in a Design Portfolio.

Participants earn stipends as they complete each tier of the program and gain access to a community of colleagues working through the same questions across disciplines. Along the way, the program generates research on how instructors reason through course design in the AI era and produces a shared repository of adaptable, evidence-informed instructional resources for faculty development across institutions.

This work is supported by a Fund for Excellence and Innovation grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and the Stearns Center for Teaching and Learning at George Mason University. Learn more about the development of CORE+AI here.
