How are you addressing AI with your students? Are you teaching with it? What about ethical concerns (data security, environmental impacts, etc)? And how do we manage academic integrity? While there are no easy answers, there are a lot of possibilities. Join the CTL's faculty reading group to learn more about AI debates and teaching strategies and engage in community discussions. Instead of a book, this semester we are putting together a "reading" packet of book chapters, podcasts, and articles about AI in higher education. Please sign up and a packet will be sent to you. There will be three discussion meetings during the semester – please choose the date and time that works for you each of the following weeks: Faculty needing professional development hours will earn one hour for each session (max total of 3 hours)

There is a lot of interesting research about how people learn best, but, unfortunately, many students choose study strategies that help them retain information for only a short period of time. And many students have never really learned how to study, much less what the research says about learning. How can we infuse some of these strategies into our classes? Come learn more about what strategies students report using and which strategies we wish they would use instead!

Through the post-exam assessment project, the CTL has learned more from students about the types of mistakes they make on exams. A surprisingly large number of students report making careless mistakes and/or misreading directions and questions. Though not completely avoidable, are there exam design strategies that can mitigate these types of mistakes? Join us to reflect on how we write exam questions, homework prompts, etc and practice making assessments more transparent.
