AI Faculty Fellow & Projects
AI Faculty Fellow at CSCC
The AI Faculty Fellow position at Columbus State Community College is an institutional leadership role, not a research sinecure. It means working directly with faculty to integrate AI thoughtfully into their teaching; developing policy frameworks that help the institution move forward responsibly; building professional development programs that meet faculty where they are; and designing student-facing AI literacy initiatives that prepare learners for a world where these tools are already present.
The work spans the full institution, from course redesign consultations to all-college workshops, from assessment rubric development to AI use policy drafting. It also means building things. When a pedagogical need arises that no existing tool meets, the answer is sometimes to build it yourself.
The projects below represent a cross-section of that work: a public resource hub for higher education educators, an in-progress classroom case study, a data visualization pipeline built for criminology students, and a growing set of vibe-coded web apps — small, single-purpose tools built to target specific pedagogical pain points in my own courses.

Work & Tools
Public Resource Hub
Digiasati.com
A free, continuously updated resource hub for higher education faculty navigating AI adoption. Covers assessment design, policy development, custom AI tool-building, and prompt libraries — with a practical, classroom-tested perspective throughout.

Vibe Coding a Corporate Fine Equivalence Calculator
How a single AI-assisted tool eliminated calculation errors for 70 students in a Sociology of Deviance course and freed them to focus on what actually matters: critical analysis of corporate accountability.
Key result: 10 students lost points before. Zero after.

Crime Data Visualization Pipeline
An automated data visualization system for criminology courses, pulling from FBI UCR, BJS, NCVS, and CDC data sources and rendering interactive and static charts for classroom use. Freely available for educational use with attribution.

Pedagogy-Driven Web Apps
Each of these started with a specific classroom pain point like a difficult concept, a calculation students kept getting wrong, or too much time spent on scoring rather than understanding the underlying concept. The fix in each case was a small, focused web app, built with AI assistance and dropped straight into the course's LMS. Several are now embedded in every section of the course they were built for.

BEM Sex-Role Inventory
The classic 60-item androgyny instrument (Bem, 1974) rebuilt as an interactive self-assessment. Students rate each characteristic and immediately see their masculinity and femininity scores plotted on two independent scales, replacing a hand-scored paper packet and making the underlying concept visible. Embedded in all SOC 1101 sections.

Family Structures Quiz
A self-paced identification drill covering the ten kinship terms from the family unit. Each card pairs a diagram with a short hint; students type the matching term and get instant feedback, turning a one-shot paper quiz into low-stakes, repeatable practice. Embedded in all SOC 1101 sections.

Constitution Scavenger Hunt
A guided quiz that walks students through the text of the U.S. Constitution, prompting them to locate specific clauses and powers, then generates a shareable score to open class discussion. Adapted from Teachers' Curriculum Institute materials for the 2309 course.

Deterrence Theory Matching Exercise
A drag-and-drop knowledge check that pairs key deterrence-theory terms with their definitions. Gives students a quick, self-correcting way to confirm they have the core vocabulary down before applying it to real cases and policy debates.
