The DePaul AI Institute is embarking on a series of signature events and collaborative resources that strategically and pragmatically integrate artificial intelligence into academic activities that promote student learning and enhance critical thinking skills. The AI in Teaching Symposiums are opportunities for DePaul faculty and staff to share and see how their colleagues have successfully utilized an AI activity or assignment into their teaching. Quick, simple, direct demonstrations that can be easily adopted in other courses at the university.

We are soliciting proposals from interested faculty members who would like to develop a brief presentation (along with accompanying resources) and present to the university community at the fourth AI in Teaching Symposium. The deadline for submission is Monday, November 1, 2026.

For the fourth symposium, up to 5 faculty members will be selected to present. The symposium will be held on Friday, January 30, 2026, from 1-3 PM at the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center (DePaul Center 5100, 1 East Jackson Blvd, Chicago, IL 60604)

Here are the guidelines for the presentations:

• No more than ten minutes to present on an AI assignment, practice, or concept that can be implemented in other courses taught at DePaul.
• No more than five minutes for Q&A.
• Written resources (overview, recommendations, links, etc.) must accompany each presentation. These will be shared on the web.
• Presenting live from the DePaul Center during the Symposium.
• A high-quality recording of your presentation to be shared on a library of instructional AI use cases on the Institute’s Web site (the recording must completed within two weeks after the symposium)

Presenters will be awarded a $500 honorarium.;

The Symposium will be offered in a Flex format. The sessions will be recorded, but the recording will be only shared with DePaul faculty and staff in a password protected streamed format. The high-quality recordings of the presentations for the use case library will be recorded in the Driehaus College of Business’ video studio on the 8th floor of the DePaul Center. The time commitment for this effort would be a 15-minute Zoom call prior to recording, and then 45 minutes on the day of recording. Your assets and recording would then be publicly shared to the web.

You can apply to present here.
