Bing Chat Enterprise is now available to IU faculty and staff. It is built on the same AI models and data as ChatGPT, so you can use it to write and summarize content, create code, and answer complex questions. Importantly, Bing Chat Enterprise has been approved for use with IU data classified as University-Internal, and it has safeguards in place to prevent the unauthorized exposure of personal and IU data.
Join us as we bring together a community of educators from all IU campuses committed to creating inclusive, welcoming, and engaging learning environments that promote student success. In this call for proposals, we invite you to share your stories of persistence, success, innovation, and evidence-based practices that exemplify the pursuit of teaching excellence.
We are soliciting individual fellows AY 2023-24 (not teams). The goal of the Mack Fellowship program is to promote and enhance the community of IU faculty engaged in SoTL. All FACET members are eligible to apply (once a FACET member, always a FACET member). For non-FACET members, applicants may be from any of IU's campuses or all programs at FACET Fort Wayne.
