Ever since Open AI made ChatGPT publicly available in 2022, university faculty nationwide have scrambled to figure out how to use the now various generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) programs to drive their students’ learning. The major challenge has been incorporating GenAI into existing instructional systems, rather than creating completely new ones. This virtual roundtable will provide participants with a model for and practice with employing scenario-based instruction using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). This model can help participants create scenarios in mere seconds and allows the faculty member to make nuanced changes to selected aspects of those scenarios quickly to challenge students ability to adapt their use of course concepts and critical thinking skills to rapidly changing real-world situations.
As higher education continues to adapt to the evolving needs of diverse learners, the HyFlex model has emerged as a powerful approach to enhance student engagement and accessibility. This presentation will showcase the Department of Political Science and Criminal Justice's journey in implementing HyFlex course sections across our MPA and Criminal Justice programs. We will highlight our strategies, challenges, and successes in delivering flexible, student-centered learning experiences.
