The AI Pedagogy Project is a free, open-access resource developed by metaLAB (at) Harvard that helps educators understand and engage with generative AI — particularly large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT — in a thoughtful, critical, and pedagogically informed way. Its “AI Guide” walks users step-by-step through what generative AI is, how LLMs work, and what their strengths and limitations are; it then offers a hands-on “LLM Tutorial,” letting faculty experiment with AI tools directly, and a comparison module for evaluating different models side-by-side. The site also includes a library of curated additional resources — from sample AI classroom policies to readings about AI ethics, bias, academic integrity, and more — so that educators can build a foundational understanding of AI before introducing it to students.
Beyond background and experimentation, the AI Pedagogy Project supplies a growing repository of ready-to-use, educator-designed assignments and activities that integrate AI tools in classroom contexts. For example, one assignment — “A Tale of Two Critiques” — asks students to compare a human-written critique of a text with a critique generated by an AI model, fostering critical reading and reflection. Another, “AI Image Remixing,” invites students to experiment with AI-based image generation or remix tools, prompting discussion around creativity, authorship, and the limits of machine-generated media. These assignments can be adapted to different disciplines, class levels, and learning goals — offering an accessible way for faculty to incorporate AI into their teaching without needing deep technical background.
