Faculty Use of AI
We encourage you to consider whether and how to integrate AI into existing curricula, so students develop AI literacy and competencies within your discipline. Boise State commits to educating students on using AI in ways that preserve academic integrity, support learning, and create practical experience.
Resources and on-going development opportunities are in continuous development so we can meet you where you are and support your discovery of AI and its use in the classroom.
Faculty AI Playbook
boisestate.ai is our university-built generative AI platform for students, faculty, and staff. The faculty playbook provides practical prompts for adaptation
and other means for making the most of your
AI experience.
AI Toolkit for Faculty
AI toolkit resources include direct links to Boise State policy, guidance, and essential tips for supporting students, clarifying AI use in your syllabus statement and lesson plan examples that you can adapt to the needs of your classroom.
Sample Syllabus Statements
If you decide it’s appropriate for students to make some use of generative AI in your course, review and adapt this statement that allows for selective, appropriate AI use.
If you plan to disallow the use of generative AI in your course, read and adapt this sample statement prohibiting AI use.

We’re Here to Help
The Center for Teaching and Learning offers workshops, provides resources, and meets with instructors working with AI in hybrid, remote, in-person learning environments.
eCampus Center supports online course instructors using AI through workshops, faculty development, one-on-one consultations, and course design and development.
AI Literacy And Student Success
Self-enroll to experience the course for yourself, or provide a direct link for your students to self-enroll as part of your course assignments. Students will earn a certificate upon completion that they can share with you and all of their instructors.

Our GenAI Values
