AI Horizons
The Summer 2026 conversation event series brings faculty and students together to explore artificial intelligence.
The Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) is hosting generative artificial intelligence (AI) events at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Throughout the AI Horizon series at CITL faculty and staff will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on workshops, guest talks, and conversations on how GenAI impacts the future of education and beyond. Make sure you subscribe to our monthly AI Horizons newsletter.
In response to recommendations from the Campus AI Curriculum Task Force, the Provost's Office has initiated a campus-wide Summer Intensive focused on integrating AI into the curriculum. This five-week program is designed to equip 40–60 faculty members with the skills to reflectively and responsibly integrate AI into their courses.
Through hands-on workshops, collaborative design sessions, and expert guidance, faculty will redesign course components to thoughtfully incorporate AI in ways intended to support learning, strengthen critical thinking, and increase student engagement, while critically evaluating its actual impact on student outcomes.
The program is developed and delivered in collaboration with the Office of the CIO, the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning, the University Library, the Siebel Center for Design, and AI experts from across campus.
