AI Teaching Scenario Library
What thinking do you want your students to make visible?
Good learning activities begin with a challenge students experience.
Maybe students struggle to apply what they've learned, evaluate competing explanations, make decisions with incomplete information, or explain their reasoning.
This library brings together AI-assisted learning activities developed by faculty across disciplines. Each activity begins with a student learning challenge and provides an opportunity to practice important forms of thinking.
Start with the struggle. Identify the thinking. Design the action. Make the learning visible.
Explore activities by the thinking you want students to develop. An activity originally designed for psychology, business, healthcare, or mathematics may offer an instructional approach you can adapt to your own discipline.
The goal isn't simply to reuse an activity. It's to discover new ways to help students think, learn, and demonstrate their understanding.
