Generative AI in Teaching and Learning
Findings from the 2024 Campus-Wide Survey on Generative AI
The 2023-2024 academic year represented the first full year in which Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools were readily available for use across the entire campus community. We conducted field interviews on campus to gain a baseline understanding of students’ and instructors’ familiarity and use of GenAI tools within academic and instructional contexts. These interviews informed the development of surveys that were administered to UMD students and instructors in Spring 2024, a collaborative project spearheaded by Academic Affairs in partnership with the Division of Information Technology (DIT). Watch a selection of our interviews below, then check out the findings from our survey.
What do students say about GenAI?
Before developing our survey, we took to the streets for field interviews to better inform the design of the survey instrument. We spoke with our students to understand what they know about GenAI and what purposes they use it for in their daily life.
