Explore Updates and Opportunities
The UNO Division of Innovative and Learning-Centric Initiatives (ILCI) is pleased to announce a number of opportunities available for UNO faculty to experiment, pilot, and begin incorporating AI into teaching, research, service, and working on campus.
A one-page overview document that is easily printed/shared electronically is available, and the most up-to-date information can always be found at ilci.unomaha.edu/AILearningLab.
If you would like to pilot enterprise ChatCPT this fall, a limited number of licenses are available for UNO faculty and (if requested) the students in courses.
Access to UNO’s enterprise ChatGPT will be done through an RFP process called the AI Challenge, where ILCI will seek information about specific use cases.
The RFP is not intended to provide access for general use of ChatGPT but rather for specific and clearly identified tasks, projects, and business processes.
Through an agreement with OpenAI, faculty will have the opportunity to create custom GPT’s.
UNO is now offering our first round of AI-Powered Teaching grants to help faculty integrate generative AI into course(s) across many disciplines.
Collaborate with an Instructional Designer to implement AI effectively and meaningfully into teaching in three different ways.
All full and part-time UNO faculty are eligible to apply for AI-powered teaching grants.
UNO will be offering our free, six-week virtual professional development called “The AI Advantage: Transforming Teaching and Preparing Students to Thrive” again this fall.
This course gives an overview of generative AI and prepares students to be responsible users of AI.
Register today for this six-week asynchronous training program!
If you are looking for a shorter AI-focused professional development opportunity, you might consider our newest “AI Jumpstart” three-hour training.
This micro course is designed to help you learn about generative AI compared to other AI models.
We hope this short-form professional development opportunity will provide you with an introduction to foundational knowledge and help you to gain curiosity to dive into AI and how you can use it in work.
And finally, we have a new compliance training on AI for the UNO campus community.
We highly recommend all members of the UNO community complete the training, which will take less than ten minutes.
Staff from the AI Learning Lab – in addition to faculty who have already submitted their plans for using enterprise ChatGPT – will be on hand to answer questions and share ideas at a virtual town hall on Aug. 28 at noon on Zoom.
If you have a story idea, news tip, or other question, please email the UNO News team at [email protected].
