In under an hour, this asynchronous WAC LIAISONS workshop will guide faculty through adapting their syllabi academic integrity policies for the presence of AI. Policy definitions, expectations, rationale, guidance, and repercussions will be modeled and explained.
Attempts to evade and detect generative AI use in coursework are never foolproof. To ensure student learning, we can adapt our assignments to better engage students. Focusing on longer assignments and projects, this asynchronous workshop introduces six strategies for reducing AI use in your favorite major assignments.
Take this asynchronous workshop at your own pace. Learn some of the promises and perils of AI chatbots, explore ways to support critical thinking about AI in class, and draft your own in-class AI-infused activity for feedback.
Through this asynchronous, Canvas-based workshop, faculty will learn about designing authentic writing assignments for students that mimic particular writing tasks for your discipline. The workshop will coach faculty on choosing an authentic, discipline-specific writing task and consulting real samples to build a rubric.
Asking students to create collaborative projects can increase student engagement and learning, but can also create serious challenges for instructors and teams. This asynchronous workshop will help you design group projects that hold individual students accountable while building teams’ collaboration skills.
Through this asynchronous, Canvas-based workshop, faculty will learn about scaffolding student success on authentic, discipline-specific writing assignments. This Part 2 workshop builds on Part 1 which coached faculty on choosing an authentic, discipline-specific writing task and consulting real samples to build a rubric. Part 2 will share ideas for embedding mini writing workshops into your course to build students' authentic writing skills.
Students learn more from writing assignments when they receive written or spoken feedback during the writing process. In- or out-of-class peer reviews will add more quality feedback to your students’ writing processes. This asynchronous workshop introduces faculty to strategies for focusing and improving student peer reviews. Students receive rubric-driven feedback on their writing before turning it in, yielding higher quality papers and decreasing grading time.
This workshop will cut your grading time while increasing the amount, quality, and objectivity of your feedback. Learn how to design a writing rubric with which to quickly assess students’ writing--with or without AI. Different styles of rubrics that suit different types of faculty will be presented.
