Teaching with AI: Integrating or Mitigating AI in Assignments

Sep 11, 2026, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Artificial Intelligence

Whether you want to incorporate AI tools into your daily instruction or design activities that minimize student reliance on them, finding the right approach requires intentional planning. This session examines strategies for either meaningfully embedding generative AI into learning activities or, conversely, crafting learning activities that emphasize more human-centered processes and skills. You will leave with actionable frameworks to evaluate your current activities and adapt them to align with your pedagogical goals.

Getting Started with AI: How AI Works and Why that Matters for Teaching and Learning

Oct 1, 2026, 12:30 – 1:30 PM
Artificial Intelligence

Understanding the basic functions of large language models (LLMs) is essential for successfully navigating teaching and learning in the AI age. Considering how AI works can help inform your own teaching practices, assignment design, and how you coach students to use (or not use) the tools ethically and responsibly. Join us for this session to learn how AI tools are trained, how they use information, and what we as users should have in mind when we interact with their outputs.

Information Literacy: Ten Essential Skills

Oct 6, 2026, 10:00 – 11:00 AM

Pedagogy of Play: Assessment Design

Oct 12, 2026, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
Active Learning

Assessment can do more than measure learning—it can also spark curiosity, creativity, and meaningful engagement. In this workshop, participants will explore how principles from the pedagogy of play can inform assessment design while maintaining rigor and alignment with learning outcomes. Participants will leave with practical strategies for adapting existing assessments or designing new ones that foster deeper student engagement.

Teaching with AI: Assignment Design with Modern AI in Mind

Oct 19, 2026, 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Artificial Intelligence

Integrating generative AI into student learning activities requires some creativity and experience with examples. This workshop will offer strategies and examples for designing assignments that allow students to build skills with AI. Moving beyond just comparing human and AI inputs, this session will consider the unique additions AI can add to activities and assignments while still prioritizing learning.

Strategies for Engaging Students in Core Courses

Oct 22, 2026, 10:00 – 11:00 AM
Motivation

Teaching a Core course can be rewarding, but it can also bring instructional challenges related to student motivation and engagement. In this Zoom session, we will explore strategies that help students recognize the relevance and purpose of Core courses, which can encourage deeper engagement. NB: This workshop counts toward CELT's Essentials in Teaching and Learning Badge.

Getting Started with AI: Communicating with Students about AI

Nov 2, 2026, 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Artificial Intelligence

Perhaps the single most important step instructors can take to set students up for success for using AI ethically and responsibly for teaching and learning is through thoughtful and collaborative communication. Communicating expectations about AI use (or lack thereof) requires extensive reflection with your course materials in mind. This session will provide useful tools for fostering transparency and trust around AI use in teaching and learning while also inviting students into conversation with you and each other.
