[new CETLL resource] Generative AI in the Classroom: Best Practices, a CETLL Guide
by QNS qcctlonline 20 Aug '25

20 Aug '25

**a new resource: Generative AI in the Classroom: Best Practices, a CETLL Guide<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/ai-resources/> ** Many of us have become accustomed to generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like predictive text in word processing programs or support offered through programs like Grammarly. However, the introduction of Chat GPT in 2022 and rapid growth of these technologies has produced increased awareness, curiosity, and concern about the impacts of generative artificial intelligence on the world we live and work in, and the ways it impacts how we teach and learn in the college classroom. Currently, there is no specific CUNY or QC policy on the use of artificial intelligence in the classroom outside of mentions of AI in the CUNY Academic Integrity Policy.<https://www.cuny.edu/about/administration/offices/legal-affairs/policies-re…> This means that, as instructors, we have a lot of flexibility and responsibility to consider how and when the use of generative AI is acceptable in our classes and to clearly communicate these parameters to our students as we prepare them for the integration of these technologies in work and life. Or, as English scholar Annette Vee states, we have an opportunity to make our courses more “AI aware.<https://aiandhowweteach.substack.com/p/how-can-your-courses-be-ai-aware>” In 2024-2025, in collaboration with Amy Wan, Professor of English and Special Assistant to the Provost for Writing, CETLL hosted a Generative AI in the Classroom Faculty Fellowship, through which an interdisciplinary cohort of thirteen faculty members* were supported to critically engage the different concerns and opportunities that generative AI presents for our work as educators. >From our discussions with the Faculty Fellows and other resources, we have developed Generative AI in the Classroom: Best Practices, a CETLL Guide. This guide includes step-by-step guidance about how to engage with questions of generative AI in your classrooms, sample syllabus statements, assignments, and resources developed by the Faculty Fellows, and recommended readings and resources for your use. Please click here<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/wp-content/uploads/sites/99/2025/08/Generativ…> <https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/wp-content/uploads/sites/99/2025/08/Generativ…> to access Generative AI in the Classroom: Best Practices, A CETLL Guide. CETLL will host a virtual launch of this guide at our Pedagogy Pop-Up on September 15 during free hour (12:15-1:30p). Join us as we share highlights from this guide and engage in conversation about best practices around generative AI in our classrooms. You can register here.<https://forms.office.com/r/ENcXfQJmtg> We encourage you to be in touch with CETLL for additional support or information: ctlonline(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:ctlonline@qc.cuny.edu> *CETLL’s Generative AI in the Classroom Faculty Fellows included Lindsey Albracht (English), Claudia Brumbaugh (Psychology), Ashlyn Cavitt (Design), Antonia Cucchiara (Political Science), Emily Drabinski (GSLIS), S. E. Hackney (GSLIS), Brandon Jeffries (GSLIS), Delaram Kahrobaei (Computer Science), Robin Naughton (Library), Yael Neumann (LCD), Joshua Rogers (CMAL), Annalee Roustio (Writing Center), and Holly Weisberg (Psychology), with facilitation by Jean Kelly (CETLL), Soniya Munshi (CETLL/Urban Studies) and Amy Wan (English).

I say to you: I refuse." Nikole Hannah-Jones "Black people cannot and will not become integrated into American society on any terms but those of self-determination and autonomy."
