The Center for Teaching and Learning hosted a hybrid Chat GPT brown bag on February 16, 2023, facilitated by Professor Milena Cuellar (MEC) and CTL Director Ljubica Depovic. Participants joined in person and online for a brief presentation and a conversation with colleagues about what Chat GPT may mean for courses this spring. We covered:

• a short overview/demo of what Chat GPT is, its capabilities and limitations;
• possible implications for academic integrity, assignments, syllabus, etc.;
• heard from those who have used it, and
• facilitated conversations about Chat GPT’s possible impact on courses in the spring semester.

This is an evolving phenomenon that changes almost daily.
