As AI tools become more common in higher education, educators are navigating important questions about pedagogy, academic integrity, accessibility, and data privacy. This toolkit is designed to support informed decision-making by translating policy and emerging practices into clear, actionable guidance focused specifically on classroom use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than promoting any single tool or platform, the Toolkit emphasizes mission-aligned innovation, human oversight, and transparency. It offers guiding principles, instructional use cases, assessment design strategies, and privacy considerations to help faculty strengthen learning outcomes while protecting students and institutional data. The goal is not simply to adopt AI, but to use it intentionally in ways that enhance teaching effectiveness, preserve academic standards, and prepare students to engage critically and ethically with AI in their academic and professional lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1906_6109d0-4b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.tamus.edu\/catie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/02\/AI_Toolkit_-02-02-2026.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:350px\" aria-label=\"Embed of AI_Toolkit_ 02-02-2026.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-c0508e86-6b8b-4af2-a5f6-a7a211b75964\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tamus.edu\/catie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/02\/AI_Toolkit_-02-02-2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI_Toolkit_ 02-02-2026<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamus.edu\/catie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/02\/AI_Toolkit_-02-02-2026.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-c0508e86-6b8b-4af2-a5f6-a7a211b75964\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work group leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"mailto:moghadasian@tamuct.edu\">Homayra Rad<\/a>&nbsp;(Texas A&amp;M University-Central Texas)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the AI, Innovative &amp; Emerging Technologies work group and to get information about joining, please contact <a href=\"mailto:moghadasian@tamuct.edu\">Homayra Rad.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column1906_ad642d-88 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column1906_ad642d-88\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI, Innovative &amp; Emerging Technologies The Artificial Intelligence, Innovative &amp; Emerging Technologies Work Group equips faculty with the knowledge and resources to explore and integrate cutting-edge technologies into teaching and learning.
