Case Western Reserve University supports faculty, staff, and students in using AI thoughtfully, ethically and effectively in your teaching and learning. Through guidance from the Office of the Provost and partners across campus, we offer practical resources for classroom integration, syllabus guidance, a living survey of faculty-submitted AI syllabus statements, and academic writing support.
As AI continues to shape higher education, we’re committed to helping the campus community engage these tools in ways that enhance learning, support teaching, and uphold academic integrity. Whether you are designing a course, supporting instruction, or navigating expectations as a learner, these resources are intended to provide clear guidance and practical support.
Principles for Teaching & Learning with AI
- Use AI to support learning, not replace it
- Keep course goals, academic integrity, and student development at the center
- Be transparent about when and how AI is used
- Prioritize critical thinking, reflection, and human judgment
- Ask whether AI is helping you learn more deeply or doing the thinking for you
- Consider whether AI use supports mastery of course objectives
- Check AI-generated content for accuracy, bias, and reliability
- Engage AI thoughtfully and fairly within shared classroom expectations
- Protect privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property
