Did your campus sign up for AI Ready’s Building and Launching Together Program?

Every campus that is a part of the Council of Independent Colleges has AI All-Stars to unleash and more programs to pilot – Building and Launching Together supports these advanced engagements.

This program provides a testing ground for what AI-enabled teaching and learning can look like on your campus.  Whether experimenting with small enhancements, redesigning assignments around AI collaboration, or developing new workflows that introduce AI components, participants can:

• Experiment with bots that facilitate classroom discussions, group projects, or reflections

• Use AI to model ethical decision-making or critique bias in generated content

• Collaborate with colleagues across institutions to build, troubleshoot, and share ideas

The Community of Practice

The Building and Launching Together track of AI Ready at the Council of Independent Colleges moves from learning to action for institutions that want to enable organization-wide generative AI use. The program places users in communities of practice based on campus role and provides in-platform training as the team actually deploys AI in their individual, faculty, and departmental functions, using internal data (as desired) and building off the work of the community.

Uses include:

• Supporting campus teams piloting AI initiatives

• Supporting faculty who are using AI in the classroom

• Professional development for campuses expanding AI availability to more of campus

The Platform

Users will work through hands on examples through sponsorship by BoodleBox. The platform meets all common security and privacy requirements, opening the opportunity for expansive use.
