Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in various activities designed to deepen their understanding and practical skills. Some key activities included listing the different ways students and teachers currently use AI to raise awareness of AI’s diverse applications in academic settings. Participants also shared personal stories about their AI use, discussing the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned, fostering a collaborative environment for peer learning. Central to the session was the introduction of the C.R.A.F.T. framework—emphasizing Culture, Rules, Access, Familiarity, and Trust—to guide the ethical and inclusive implementation of AI. Participants reflected on their current practices, assessing their department’s culture around AI, existing rules, resource accessibility, and the level of familiarity and trust among peers and students.

Dr. Llige expresses her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with UP Manila’s DCSAP. She views this engagement as a valuable opportunity to extend her reach beyond her immediate environment, learn from other UP departments, and understand their practices. She considers this activity a mutual learning experience and hopes that the participants benefited greatly from this collaboration. 

Moving forward, the department remains open to more opportunities to collaborate and to share their knowledge and skills with other academic units, fostering a culture of continuous growth and innovation across the university and beyond.
