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* URL:https://blog.citl.mun.ca/technologyresources/workshop-consult/mapping-the-operative-moment-of-generative-ai-citl-instructor-series/ LOCATION:ED 1001/Webex\, ED 1001\, Education Building\, Memorial University\, St.John's\, Canada END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/St_Johns:20250123T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/St_Johns:20250123T150000 DTSTAMP:20260403T210653 CREATED:20241211T165544Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241212T182801Z UID:34615-1737640800-1737644400@blog.citl.mun.ca 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.

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.

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.
