Guest Presenter: Kyle Chalupczynski

Kyle Chalupczynski, M.B.A., is a Professor of Management Information Systems at Penn State Behrend's Black School of Business and a 2024-2026 TLT Faculty Fellow.

For this presentation, Kyle will share his experience developing and implementing the PALS framework across multiple courses at Penn State Behrend, demonstrating how custom GPTs can transform educational experiences at various scales. He'll showcase four distinct implementations with different approaches: a comprehensive introduction to MIS course where students navigate industry-specific scenarios throughout the semester, a streamlined supplemental integration in an advanced course, a reflection-based approach for a NetSuite lab course that helps students understand business value behind technical skills, and additional implementations that demonstrate the framework's flexibility across different teaching contexts.

​Kyle will also introduce the "Build Your Own PAL" chatbot, a tool designed to make the PALS framework accessible to any faculty interested in implementing similar approaches.

​Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing AI at different scales, from enhancing single assignments to transforming entire courses, while maintaining pedagogical quality and academic integrity.
