AI in Teaching and Learning
The TLC provides resources, support, data, and research to help instructors thoughtfully, responsibly, and collaboratively integrate AI into teaching and learning.
Vision for AI in Teaching and Learning
The UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is committed to helping educators navigate the specific impacts of AI on instruction and broader implications for postsecondary education, while acknowledging the different perspectives about this technology that instructors bring to the classroom. The TLC encourages an approach to AI use in the classroom rooted in curiosity and commitment to the practice of teaching.
As we explore this new territory together, the TLC will provide resources, support, and data (research) to help in moving forward responsibly and collaboratively. We appreciate that UCLA is a community that cares deeply about teaching, learning, and the success of our students.
Six principles guide the TLC’s engagement with and support for AI-assisted learning and AI-enabled learning environments:
- Equitable Access
- Student Literacy
- Faculty Engagement and Support
- Assessment Integrity
- Faculty-Driven Innovation
- Adoption Decisions Driven by Research
TLC Programs on Teaching and Learning with AI
This year-long, cohort-based initiative will advance a campus-wide understanding of the impact and best practices for implementing AI tools.
The 2026 event provided a forum to thoughtfully examine AI’s evolving role and impact on teaching and learning through flash talks, technology exhibitions, panel discussions, and a keynote address.
The TLC hosts workshops and trainings around various AI tools to support instructors as they reflect on how evolving technologies affect the courses they teach and how students learn.
Guidance to help instructors understand how generative AI works, explore its teaching potential, and understand how to guide students engaging with new technologies.
Advisory Committee on AI in Teaching and Learning
In spring 2025, the Advisory Committee on AI in Teaching and Learning was established by the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning (VPTL) to monitor, discuss, and evaluate the many expected changes artificial intelligence (AI) will bring to the educational and pedagogical landscape at UCLA.
