**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).

Teaching with the Who Built America? OER—A Hands-On Workshop for CUNY Educators
by QNS qcctlonline 29 May '25

29 May '25

Teaching with the Who Built America? OER—A Hands-On Workshop for CUNY Educators In August 2024, the American Social History Project launched a new digital, expanded, and updated edition of Who Built America? Working People and the Nation’s History<https://www.whobuiltamerica.org/> (WBA?), a history textbook with a focus on social and labor history. Available as an Open Educational Resource and intended for classroom use and general audiences, the new WBA? is supplemented by thousands of primary sources and teaching resources. Join us in person (June 3rd, 2:30–4:00 pm) or online (June 5th, 11 am–12:30 pm) for a 90-minute workshop introducing WBA? to CUNY educators. Each session will explore the textbook’s unique features, including its extensive repository of primary sources and media-rich supplemental essays. We will demonstrate how WBA? can be effectively adopted across a range of courses—from composition classes and history surveys to electives that rely on historical inquiry or primary-source analysis. Participants will have dedicated time to identify materials that align with their syllabi, create engaging discussion prompts, or outline micro-assignments, and then share and discuss these ideas collectively. Click here to register<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbPeZHN0JF9Sj7oq2ENawvwoON1kjmC02…>. If you have questions, please contact Stefano Morello at smorello(a)gradcenter.cuny.edu<mailto:smorello@gradcenter.cuny.edu>. About the American Social History Project Based at the CUNY Graduate Center, the American Social History Project<https://ashp.cuny.edu/> has helped to change the ways that Americans learn history. For more than forty years, we’ve written books, produced documentaries, created digital and online programming, and organized activities that encourage people’s critical thinking about the past. We have also developed classroom resources and led professional development seminars that help teachers in New York City and across the nation to use new scholarship, technology, and methods to promote social history and the development of historical thinking skills in their classrooms. Informed by the latest scholarship, we make the past, and the lives of the working people and “ordinary” Americans who shaped it, vivid and meaningful. --- Stefano Morello Assistant Director for Digital Projects American Social History Project / Center for Media and Learning<https://ashp.cuny.edu/> The Graduate Center, City University of New York Room 7301.12
