Call For Papers: SESSION 1: CONSTRUCTIVE USE OF AI. In 2022, Chat GPT and other processing tools driven by AI technology made their way into higher education. Professors received fully AI-generated assignments and were not prepared to respond to what they considered misapplication. The reality is that AI is infiltrating most aspects of the modern world. Professors must learn to help their students use AI processing tools properly. They can also learn to use them as pedagogical tools. The TBSULAC session welcomes papers on pedagogical approaches and proven strategies for teaching the Bible using AI. SESSION 2: BUILDING COMMUNITY IN PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS. After the Covid pandemic, students and educators struggled to reintegrate into a regular classroom setting. Due to the development of new technology, many opted for virtual learning. However, online learning can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection. Indeed, higher education does not just provide knowledge but also a creative and collaborative learning environment. This session welcomes papers on building communities in physical and virtual classrooms, including communication, motivation, engagement, participation, accountability, collaboration, mentoring, support, and more.
