The GAIT Fellowship
A year-long fellowship supporting faculty in thoughtful, critical integration of generative AI into teaching.
The GAIT Fellowship (Generative AI in Teaching) is a year-long cohort program that supports faculty across UGA’s 14 schools and colleges in developing intentional, critical, discipline-specific approaches to generative AI.
Why it exists
Most faculty responses to generative AI fall into two unhelpful camps: enthusiastic adoption without pedagogical framing, or blanket prohibition that ignores how students are already using the tools. GAIT is built for the middle — faculty who want to think carefully about what these systems change, what they don’t, and what teaching should look like in response.
How it works
- Monthly cohort meetings structured around teaching problems, not tool demonstrations
- Individual consultations to translate cohort conversations into discipline-specific assignment redesigns
- A shared reflection portfolio that becomes a teaching artifact fellows carry forward
- Peer observation pairs across disciplines
