The rapid popularization of generative AI has fostered much ambiguity. On the CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó campus, educators have implemented various generative AI policies, from banning this technology to integrating its use into activities and assessments.Ìý While many initiatives exist on campus to engage educators in conversation around these varied approaches, we see a need to understand the CUÌýundergraduate student perspective on this emerging technology.Ìý

• How and why are CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó undergraduates actually using AI?

• What do they think about this technology?

• And what policies and practices do students want their instructors and the broader institution to implement going forward?

CTL's (formerly ASSETT) Educational Technology 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Assistants (ETRAs) are answering these questions by conducting mixed-methods research from Fall 2024 to Spring 2025. In Fall 2024, the ETRAs began communicating their informed perspectives as undergraduate student researchers to dialogue with faculty engaged in creating AI policy.ÌýThey participated as panelists in a community discussion of an informal class survey with CTL staff and educators in theÌý.

In Spring 2025, they will launch a survey and conduct interviews with other CU students to provide a comprehensive view of CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó undergraduate students’ use and perceptions of generative AI. The results of this study will help community stakeholders make informed decisions about generative AI that improves the student experience at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó amid a changing technological landscape. Ultimately, the ETRAs aim to inform future initiatives and interventions related to generative AI on the CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó campus through their research and presentations.ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý
