Each exercise ends with something you can use right away: an AI Course Policy for your syllabus, a revised assignment, a plan for the term, or a plan for talking with students about AI.
You don't need to be an AI expert to use it, and you don't need to use AI yourself. The workbook is about how your students make decisions about AI, and how your course can help them make good ones.
The name comes from OCTC's faculty workshop on AI literacy. The workshop moves through three roles. In BE the Student, faculty use AI as learners, on a task outside their expertise. In BE the Teacher, they look back at that experience and ask what it tells them about their students. In BE the Change, they commit to one change in a course they teach.
This workbook is the third part, where that one change gets built.
Get out your One-Change Card. Your behavior, course, and date are already decided. Go to Exercise 2 and build the change you wrote down.
Want to run the workshop yourself, or see how it fits together? The facilitator kit has the slides, the Padlet wall, and the run of show.
You haven't missed anything you need. Everything here works on its own. Pick one assignment you already teach and start with the path below.
There are four exercises, but you don't need to do all four. The workbook is built around one change in one course. Exercise 2 is where that change happens. The others help you set it up, see whether it's working, and talk with students about it.
-
Exercise 1
Write Your AI Course Policy
Start here if your syllabus doesn't yet say how AI fits your course.
You'll leave with an AI Course Policy for your syllabus, a sentence students can use to tell you how they used AI, and a label for each main assignment.
-
Exercise 2 · The core
One Meaningful Change
Start here if you already have an AI Course Policy, or you're coming from the workshop with a card.
You'll leave with one assignment revised with TILT around one BE behavior, ready to paste into Blackboard, and a date to have it live.
-
Exercise 3
Build Your Checkpoints
Come here when your change is in place and you want to see how students' judgment develops across the term.
You'll leave with a plan of four or five checkpoints tied to assignments you already give.
-
Exercise 4
Talk with Students About AI
Come here when you want to be ready for conversations about AI, from everyday questions to a concern about a student's work.
You'll leave with an opener for everyday conversations, questions to use when you have a concern, and your own notes on where your role ends and the college's process begins.
- Each exercise has three parts: a short lesson, a set of steps to work through, and a Copilot prompt if you'd rather talk it through.
- Your answers stay on your computer. They save automatically in the browser you're using, and nothing is sent anywhere. That also means they won't follow you to another computer or browser, and clearing your browser data erases them.
- To keep a copy, use Print or save as PDF on any exercise. The printout includes only your answers.
- With the Copilot prompts, don't paste in student names or student work, and read every draft before you use it.
- The AI Label Maker from Exercise 1 has its own page. Bookmark it to add an AI label to each assignment as you build it in Blackboard.
- What Students See shows the exact AI words students read in OCTC Student Resources and the FYE 100 guidebook, so your policy and labels can match them.
- Keep the playbook open alongside. The five BE pages describe each behavior at each stage and are the best place to look when you're choosing a behavior.
