Using AI to create Active Learning Exercises
October 7, 2 pm
We know the importance of engaging students in their learning and providing them multiple ways to understand and apply their knowledge, but it can be time consuming and challenging to create those activities. Join us for session where we discuss not only a variety of active learning strategies, but we will also explore ways in which we can use AI to make the creation of these exercises not only faster, but more applicable to our classes.
Using AI to create Transparent Assignments
October 24, 2 pm
Transparent Assignment Design (TAD) is one of the most effective ways in which you can create an equitable environment in your course. Using TAD means you are clearly telling the students what, why, and how of each assignment. Transforming your assignments using TAD is valuable but can be time consuming. Join us as we explore TAD and how to use AI to transform your assignments to help your students succeed.
Building Trust with Academic Integrity
November 4, 2:30 pm
In this hour-long workshop, we’ll explore effective strategies for building trust with our students, fostering a positive and open classroom environment. We will discuss the importance of establishing clear communication on academic integrity and ethical scholarship throughout the course, starting with the syllabus.
Professional development Institutes are a new offering from CETI. Our vision is that we will engage faculty through a process of development that spans aspects of teaching in-person, hybrid and online. Our institutes will all have limited seating, be available in-person and online. Some of the institutes will be prerequisites for others. We will begin by offering 2-3 per semester including 1-2 over the summer.
For each institute completed, educators are eligible for a $500 stipend. If interested, faculty may apply for a $1,000 stipend after completing Guided Course Development and submitting a redeveloped/newly developed course for review and peer observation of the course being taught.
Please see our FAQs for more information about eligibility and stipend payments.
We will be offering an 8-week series utilizing the text Learning that Matters: A Field Guide to Transformative Education. "Learning that Matters: A Field Guide to Course Design for Transformative Education" offers practical guidance for creating courses that motivate, challenge, and engage students. Emphasizing the intentional design of meaningful learning experiences, this book provides research-informed approaches for innovative and intellectually engaging courses. It is a valuable resource for both novice and veteran educators, encouraging collaboration, reflection, and a focus on inclusivity and equity. By implementing critical concepts like authentic assessments and portable thinking skills, educators can transform students' lives and prepare them to tackle life’s challenges.
The purpose of this workshop is to help you focus on the process of designing student-friendly, technology-enhanced courses. We will start with backward design and course mapping, then cover creating an effective syllabus, developing effective assessments, designing an equitable and accessible course, creating student-friendly lessons and materials, building instructor presence, incorporating peer learning, and finalizing the course design. You will apply what you learn by developing components of your own course and receiving feedback from your peers and facilitators.
