When: Wednesday, February 4, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Join CETI in welcoming the Steely Librarians for a conversation on navigating student research amid AI. In the session, librarians will share AI features embedded in library databases, including natural language search and research assistant tools. We invite conversation on how these tools might impact student assignments and will discuss ideas to guide students in using AI effectively and ethically in their research. We’ll wrap up the session by sharing various ways to connect with library resources and services to support students and their research needs in this complex information landscape.

Workshop #1
When: March 31, 2026 at 1pm ET
Where: Zoom and FH 355
This workshop invites faculty to reexamine and revise course learning outcomes using
Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning as a holistic, whole‑person framework. Rather than centering cognition alone, participants will consider how Fink’s six interconnected dimensions — Foundational Knowledge, Application, Integration, Human Dimension, Caring, and Learning How to Learn — can intentionally engage cognitive, affective, and psycho‑motor domains in integrated ways. Through guided analysis of existing outcomes, faculty will identify gaps and possibilities, then rewrite outcomes to foreground metacognition, student motivation, and the human and social dimensions of learning. Participants will leave with outcomes that better reflect the diversity of student experience and abilities, and that are more meaningful, inclusive, and developmentally significant for their students.
Workshop #2
When: April 7, 2026 at 1pm ET
Where: Zoom and FH 355
This workshop builds on thoughtfully designed learning outcomes by centering how
they come to life through concrete learning experiences and assessments. Grounded in Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning, participants will explore how holistic outcomes can be translated into authentic, meaningful assignments that engage students as whole persons and invite them to exercise genuine agency in their learning. The workshop will pay particular attention to designing experiences connected to real‑world issues, present‑day relevance, and emerging technologies — including AI — used in intentional, ethical, and pedagogically transparent ways. Participants will leave with practical strategies for aligning outcomes, activities, and assessments to foster student engagement, sense of purpose, and transformative learning.
CETI is proud to be a co-sponsor with the Scripps Howard Center and Faculty Senate for a conversation with Grant Garber.
