Teaching with AI
Suffolk County Community College fosters the use of pioneering technology, such as
generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), for improving the student learning experience
and facilitating creative and collaborative work, while adhering to academic integrity,
transparency, and ethical standards.
AI Tools at the College
Microsoft Copilot and D2L Lumi Pro are generative AI tools that are offered at Suffolk.
Copilot is a large language model (LLM) that is embedded in Microsoft Office. It can
help draft emails, learning outcomes, assignments, or help you brainstorm ideas, among
other things.
Lumi Pro is integrated in the assignment panel in Brightspace. It is used to create
assignments by analyzing the course content you choose and then generating learning
outcomes using Bloom's Taxonomy. To learn more about Lumi Pro, please see D2L Lumi Pro for Faculty.
Sample Syllabus Statements for Use of AI
The Center for Teaching and Learning has identified three sample statements for course
outlines using three approaches: (1) allowing students to use generative AI tools;
(2) allowing students to use generative AI based on specific circumstances; and (3)
not allowing students to use generative AI tools. Faculty may choose to use this language
in their syllabi (course outlines).
Please read and download the Sample Syllabus Statements for Generative AI Usage 2024.
