SUMMARY:Networking for Engagement in the Classroom and Curriculum (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Dr. Christine Helen Arnold\, Interim Associate Vice-President (Academic) and Dean of Students and Associate Professor and Chair of the Adult Education/Post-Secondary Studies program in the Faculty of Education \nThere are five conditions that promote student success: institutional commitment\, institutional expectations\, support\, feedback\, and involvement or engagement (Tinto & Pusser\, 2006). Engagement is invariably cited within all scholarly discussions and debates regarding student success and can be fostered from the first day when reviewing the course outline to the final day when revising the capstone project. While the last few years in post-secondary education have certainly challenged our conception and implementation of engagement\, it has also provided innovative frameworks for redeveloping our connections with students. One such reflective framework includes rethinking engagement and persistence through student social networks\, “using the classroom and curriculum as contexts for understanding how different forms of networks: tight or loose\, dense or sparse can engender different outcomes for students” (Tinto\, 2023). \nDuring this session\, we will participate in a thoughtful and meaningful conversation on student social networks and their role within the introductions and communications embedded in our course outlines\, connections to services and supports on campus\, and perceptions of teaching and learning activities. \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:Evaluating with and against AI: From AI-proof to AI-required (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Ryan Murphy\, Assistant Professor\, Business Administration \, School of Arts and Social Science\, Grenfell Campus. \nPolicies and syllabus statements limiting the use of AI tools are insufficient in an era of modern generative “AI” tools. This presentation will explore a spectrum of effective approaches for assessing learning going beyond these approaches. Ryan will explore the impact of AI on his teaching practice\, going beyond the simple question of “is AI allowed?” to explore a spectrum of possible approaches to evaluation with and against AI\, from AI-proof assignments to evaluations that require the use of AI to succeed. \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:Mapping the operative moment of generative AI (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Dr. Aaron Tucker\, Assistant Professor\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\, Department of English. \nGaining a clear understanding of how generative AI functions is critical to making informed decisions on how it can impact you and your teaching practice. \nIn this introductory-level workshop\, Dr. Tucker will explore with participants the basics of artificial neural networks and provide an overview of contemporary machine learning techniques. Participants will then map the basics of how text-based and image-based Generative AI\, such as ChatGPT and DALL-E\, operate. From this\, participants will reflect on how this enhanced literacy can be incorporated into their own pedagogy\, through assignment design\, lecture materials\, and discussions of academic integrity. \nThis is a hybrid session (offered online and in-person) and it will be recorded.  \nIf attending online\, it is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers:  Chrome\, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Firefox. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time.   \nIf attending in-person\, the session will be held in the TLX (ED 1001).   \nRegistration is required for this event.  \n*CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Using Rubrics in Brightspace
DESCRIPTION:Rubrics are a scoring tool that outlines specific criteria for evaluating student work. Articulating evaluation criteria helps learners prepare more thoughtful submissions that are aligned with instructor expectations. Once students submit or present their work\, rubrics also provide an efficient\, objective\, and systematic method for grading. \nThe Rubrics tool in Brightspace offers easy-to-modify templates to meet your specific assessment needs. Once created\, the rubrics can be shared with students and used to evaluate submissions to Assignments\, Discussions and more. \nThis session will provide an overview of the benefits and best practices in designing rubrics\, an introduction to rubrics in Brightspace\, along with step-by-step guidance on how to create and add a rubric to your assessment. \nThis session will be hosted in Webex. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time.

SUMMARY:Using AI to navigate academic literature (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Alison Ambi MSc MLIS | Analytics & Data Librarian Collection Strategies\, Memorial University Libraries. \nGeneral Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT do not provide sources to support their output\, and are notoriously bad at generating accurate citations. However\, there are AI-powered discovery tools that take advantage of LLM functionality to lead researchers to relevant academic literature (for example Scite Assistant\, Consensus\, and Keenious). We are also beginning to see AI tools incorporated in library databases and indexes like Scopus and Web of Science. \nIn this session\, Alison Ambi\, from Memorial Libraries will demonstrate some of these tools and discuss their pros and cons for students and researchers searching for books and articles. \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.  \n*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. \n>> CLICK HERE TO REGISTER <<
