About AI4AI
Artificial Intelligence for App State Instruction (AI4AI) is a learning community dedicated to exploring various AI and related technologies to enhance teaching and learning, online and in the classroom.
This group has delved into generative AI, chatbots, voice assistants, video conferencing and LMS integrations. Meetings often feature brief demonstrations of AI-related technologies that participants are exploring or developing, followed by open discussions on potential outcomes, challenges and use cases.
Outcomes
Collaborations have led to presentations on campus and at professional conferences. In some cases, prototyped integrations and processes have been implemented at App State.

This group meets once a month via Zoom, with occasional in-person meetings.
The group is co-facilitated by
Michelle Melton, business and technology application specialist in Academic Technologies, ITS and adjunct instructor, Department of Computer Science.
Derek Eggers, educational development specialist, CETLSS and adjunct instructor, Department of Applied Design.
