Teaching AI Literacy, what is and isn’t working

In this talk, we’ll dissect agentic system architectures from tool-calling interfaces and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to direct computer-control integrations and multi-agent coordination patterns.

We will cover the various uses of generative AI in graduate level writing, as well as the ethics of using AI in your academic writing. Additionally, we will cover the new graduate school AI policy for academic writing to make students aware of the official university stance—this will include how improper use of AI will be identified and what actions can be taken against students who use AI improperly in their academic work while at UI. In the second session, we will cover the basics of what a teaching statement is and how to write one.

Monday, October 27, 2025 1:30pm – 2:30pm
n this workshop, we will discuss five ‘genres’ of generative-AI and their applications to qualitative research, highlight current integrations of generative-AI into computer-assisted qualitative data analysis tools and applications (CAQDAS), and explore ethical issues associated with and implications for using these tools.
