What is the CORE+AI initiative?
Started in 2023, the Collaborative Research on Education + Artificial Intelligence (CORE+AI) is a multi-institutional, cross-disciplinary research-to-practice initiative focused on artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning. We facilitate research connections amongst faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students across institutions and develop resources and professional learning opportunities for higher education instructors across Virginia and beyond.
The initiative is led by three co-principal investigators: Breana Bayraktar (George Mason University), Dayna Henry (James Madison University), and Jessica Taggart (University of Virginia) and has involved 50+ team members across 10 institutions. Our work has been supported by a $93,000 Fund for Excellence and Innovation grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia and project teams have been awarded multiple 4VA grants.
