| 7/10/24 12:00 pm - 7/10/24 2:00 pm | Developing a Plan for Addressing GenAI in your Classroom this Fall | Session Format: Remote synchronous (Zoom) Intended Audience: Faculty, Graduate Students, Postdocs Facilitator(s): Anoff Nicholas Cobblah Session Abstract: In this interactive remote workshop, participants will begin to develop their own plan for responding to Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in the Fall semester. Through reflection and small group discussions, participants will begin to draft/revise syllabus statements, reconsider assignment prompts, and reflect on how to talk to students about GenAI. Although approaches to these activities should be informed by school/college specific policies and practices, this session will offer insights on how to proactively and inclusively address the use of GenAI in your classroom.

| 7/16/24 10:00 am - 7/16/24 12:00 pm | Facilitating Discussions of Research Literature in STEM | Session Format: In-person Intended Audience: Faculty, Graduate Students, Postdocs Facilitator(s): Sarah Zelner and Waleed Helweh Session Abstract: This workshop provides an opportunity for instructors in STEM courses to discuss evidence-based practices that can promote more effective discussions of research literature. Through a series of group-based activities, instructors will consider methods for helping students effectively engage with readings ahead of class and facilitate productive discussions that include all students. This workshop will be most helpful to instructors who plan to mostly discuss research literature in class and less useful to those running textbook-based or problem-based courses. GTC eligible?
