Help Build a Library of AI Use Cases at UNC Charlotte
The CTL AI Faculty Fellows are curating a repository of real AI use cases to highlight how faculty and students are integrating AI into teaching and learning. These stories will serve as a resource for educators across disciplines, showcasing effective, innovative, and replicable AI applications that enhance student engagement and success.
Why Share Your AI Use Case?
What Makes a Strong Use Case?
A compelling use case should:
Be a real course experience—What worked? What course did you use AI in? What did you learn? What did your students think?
Include concrete examples of AI use in your teaching practice
Be replicable so others can read your story and adapt your approach
Describe impact on student engagement, learning, or efficiency
Topics to Consider
Your use case could explore:
AI for Critical Thinking & Problem-Solving – How AI fosters deeper thinking and creativity in your course
AI for Course Material Creation – Using AI for lesson planning, syllabus design, course improvements, or content generation
AI in Grading, Assessment & Feedback – Rethinking how students do homework and receive feedback
AI for Student Support – Using AI tools for adaptive learning, tutoring, personalized chatbots, intelligent agents, and analytics
AI & Course Ethics – Developing responsible AI guidelines and ethical considerations for your course
AI & Faculty Professional Development – Your journey into learning about and integrating AI into your teaching practice
AI in Career Readiness & Different Disciplines – Applying AI to specific curricular or industry contexts
AI for Student Engagement – Applying AI to innovate course experiences
Use Cases SHOULD be Written in a Story Format
The best stories are relatable, personal, and engaging.
Make us laugh, reflect, or rethink how AI can shape learning.
Share strategies that other faculty can learn from.
Select one or more formats below to help structure your experience:
1 – “THEN AND NOW”: Compare two moments in time. This is ideal when sharing a use case story that spanned or evolved over multiple semesters.
2 – “IT’S LIKE…STORIES”: Use an analogy to make a complex AI concept more accessible or easy to understand for other faculty
3 – “THE LIGHTBULB MOMENT”: Share an epiphany or marked moment in time where a realization or great idea came to you on using AI in teaching.
4 – “I’M NOT PERFECT”: Reflect on a challenge, mistake, or learning experience about using AI in your course. Being vulnerable and sharing down moments and mistakes shows that you are real like the rest of us!
5 – “MY GOLDEN NUGGET”: Highlight a win — a success story demonstrating AI’s impact on student learning.
