SUMMARY:Using AI to Enhance Student Writing (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Mr. Mark Picco\, Instructor and Technical Communications Coordinator\, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science \nRoughly a year ago\, the pedagogical landscape was transformed by widespread accessibility to generative AI tools like ChatGPT. The mere existence of such tools was polarizing: some instructors wanted to readily accept whatever AI had to offer students\, while others worried that AI misuse would lead to violations of academic integrity. One year later\, educators are trying to strike a balance between facilitating student writing using AI and making sure that student work is completed genuinely and ethically. \nIn this session\, Mark Picco\, Instructor in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science will discuss how AI tools are best used by students in the writing process. First\, the use of AI in producing written content will be examined (and discouraged). The session will also cover two ethical and effective uses of AI: pre-writing and revising. Because all of the AI tools featured in the workshop will be free for students to use\, instructors will immediately gain a handy AI toolbox that can be shared with students who are about to undertake written assignments. \nThis is an online session and it will be recorded. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers:  Chrome\, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Creating Secure Assessments with Advanced Quiz Settings
DESCRIPTION:Presenting each student in your course with a slightly different version of the same quiz deters academic dishonesty and thus increases the integrity of the assessment. \nThe Quizzes tool in Brightspace allows instructors to configure quizzes in a way that will present each student with a different version of the same quiz. In this session\, various methods of randomizing a Brightspace quiz will be illustrated such as shuffling questions and answer choices; creating a question pool and populating a quiz (or a section within it) with a random selection of questions from the pool; and more. The function of the ‘Question Library’ will also be discussed. \nThis session will be hosted in Webex. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers: Chrome\, Microsoft Edge or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Exploring a Hyflex Model of Teaching and Learning (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:*** DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES\, THIS EVEN HAS BEEN CANCELLED. ***\nThe presenter for this session is Dr. Karen Goodnough\, Professor\, Faculty of Education \nHyflex courses use an instructional approach that combines face-to-face and online learning. Students may choose to participate in each class session in one of three ways: face-to-face\, online synchronously\, or online asynchronously. Regardless of the format\, students target the same learning outcomes and each format should offer the same level of engagement. Developed by Brain Beatty in 2019\, Hyflex learning environments should align with these core values: learner choice (different modes of participation)\, equivalence in terms of learning outcomes\, reusability (artifacts can be used in all three modes)\, and accessibility (students have the technology to participate in either mode). \nIn this session\, Dr. Goodnough will examine: a) the design of Hyflex courses (e.g. assessment and learning activities) such that students are meeting the same learning outcomes regardless of the way they access course information and learning experiences (face-to-face\, synchronously\, or asynchronously)\, and b) the affordances and limitations of adopting a Hyflex model. \nThis is an online session and it will be recorded. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers:  Chrome\, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Applied Learning: incorporating student constructed case studies. (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Dr. Tiffany Lee\, Assistant Professor\, School of Pharmacy \nUsing case studies as a part of your instructional approach creates opportunities for student to use and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This authentic applied learning approach asks students to put into action what they are learning in the course to real-world scenarios. \nIn this session\, Dr. Tiffany Lee will describe how she developed a scaffold assessment approach in her Pharmacy course that had students reflecting on their personal experiences and content knowledge to develop case studies that would be reviewed and actioned by their peers. Through each stage of the assessment\, Dr. Lee guided students through a framework that developed a culture of collegiately where appropriate and constructive feedback enhanced the overall learning experience. A first-hand account of the student experience with this approach will be shared\, coupled with a conversation around important considerations and lessons learned when using student constructed cases. \nThis is an online session and it will be recorded.
