SUMMARY:Social Annotation to Support Undergraduate Reading (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Melanie Doyle\, Per-Course Instructor\, Department of  English\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. \nUndergraduate student reading has often been described as a “don’t\, won’t\, can’t” problem (Horning\, 2013\, p. 1). Despite these problems\, it can be difficult for course instructors to support students’ development into strong critical readers because\, unlike problems with writing\, we do not often “see” problems with reading. \nThis session will introduce course instructors to social annotation\, a process whereby students collaboratively annotate or “mark up” assigned readings. In the session\, Melanie will describe how she implemented social annotation into her first-year critical reading and writing (CRW) course. Participants will learn what social annotation is\, how it compares to other reading assessments\, and how it can support students’ reading and writing development. \nThis is a hybrid session (offered online and in-person) and it will be recorded. \n 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:What I have learned from teaching with AI (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Dr. Katie Wilson\, Assistant Professor\, Biochemistry\, Faculty of Science. \nIncorporating AI as a part of your teaching practice may feel like a daunting task; however\, having the opportunity to hear of the experiences of others can help with making critical decisions and provide the confidence to explore how the AI tools are changing the learning environment. \nIn this session Dr. Katie Wilson will share her personal experience with bringing AI tools into her teaching and assessment practices. She will explore what informed her decision\, how students responded and other considerations. \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.

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*
