AI in Teaching Symposium – Call for Proposals
The DePaul AI Institute is embarking on a series of signature events and collaborative resources that strategically and pragmatically integrate artificial intelligence into academic activities that promote student learning and enhance critical thinking skills. The AI in Teaching Symposiums are opportunities for DePaul faculty and staff to share and see how their colleagues have successfully utilized an AI activity or assignment into their teaching. Quick, simple, direct demonstrations that can be easily adopted in other courses at the university.
We are soliciting proposals from interested faculty members who would like to develop a brief presentation (along with accompanying resources) and present to the university community at the second AI in Teaching Symposium. The deadline for submission is Monday, September 23.
For the second symposium, up to 4 faculty members will be selected to present. The Symposium will be held on Friday, October 18, from 1-3 PM at the DePaul Center.
Here are the guidelines for the presentations:
- No more than ten minutes to present on an AI assignment, practice, or concept that can be implemented in other courses taught at DePaul.
- No more than five minutes for Q&A.
- Written resources (overview, recommendations, links, etc.) must accompany each presentation. These will be shared on the web.
- Presenting live from the DePaul Center during the Symposium.
- A high-quality recording of your presentation to be shared on a library of instructional AI use cases on the Institute’s Web site (the recording can be completed after the symposium but prior to the end of the fall quarter.
Presenters will be awarded a $500 honorarium.
The Symposium will be offered in a Flex format. The sessions will be recorded, but the recording will be only shared with DePaul faculty and staff in a password protected streamed format. The high-quality recordings of the presentations for the use case library will be recorded in the Driehaus College of Business’ video studio on the 8th floor of the DePaul Center. The time commitment for this effort would be a 15-minute Zoom call prior to recording, and then 45 minutes on the day of recording. Your assets and recording would then be publicly shared to the web.

Documentary: Not Home
DePaul University invites you to join us for an afternoon of film viewing and discussion about this real and relevant topic.In the words of filmmaker Narcel Reedus, “The stories in 'Not Home' will unfold with a mixture of interviews and vérité footage including homecomings, doctors visits, circle of support meetings, and travels with a parent on a visit to a pediatric long-term care facility. With these stories we hope to reveal incredible threads of commonality that cross community, race, and class."The documentary also provides a condensed creative glimpse into the history of institutionalization in the U.S. Footage for the documentary spans over many different states, as it reveals a universal connection between the families' stories.The film offers a glimpse into the lives of several families to give viewers a platform for understanding a parent’s decision to institutionalize a child, as well as an exploration of the health care policies that pay for it.After the screening, we will have a panel discussion and audience Q & A with the filmmaker, a family member, and a range of advocates and experts.A reception will follow for more informal conversation and reflection.
