Campuswide Survey on the Use of Generative AI in Education

The Faculty Learning Community on Exploring GenAI in the Classroom is excited to announce the launch of a campuswide survey focused on the use of Generative AI (GenAI)here at SU! We invite students, staff and faculty to share their perspectives on how GenAI is currently being used, their attitudes toward it and their thoughts on its future role in education. Your feedback is crucial in shaping how we approach and integrate these emerging technologies on our campus and can inform other partners in USM about the potential and challenges of this new tool. Participation is voluntary and anonymous; however, you can register to be eligible for a $50 incentive after completing the survey. Don’t miss your chance to contribute to this important conversation!

The survey has been extended until November 30, 2024!
