Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Hands-on Exploration

Feb 14, 2024, 2:00 – 2:50 PM

This in-person exploratory session is designed to support instructors who are interested in how GenAI can contribute to learning in their classes. We invite participants to bring an existing assignment or assignment idea to actively consider possibilities for incorporating AI. This session will be participant-driven and make space for guided first-hand experience with popular AI tools. Please bring a device (laptop or tablet) and an assignment to the session. We will be primarily exploring tools that are either free or accessible to UK faculty, staff, and students.

Assignment Design with AI in Mind: Info Session

Feb 7, 2024, 3:00 – 3:45 PM

In a short period of time, GenAI tools have developed numerous useful capabilities for learning. Instructors looking to leverage these tools to enhance learning while also deciding when and how to limit their use will find relevant tips in this session. During this information session, we will consider uses of AI in assignments and necessary modifications to assignment descriptions to clarify AI-related expectations to students.

Nov 19, 2023

CELT staff attended the annual POD Network conference—one of the major conferences for centers for teaching and learning (CTLs)—and led sessions focusing on the CTLs's role regarding generative AI and the future of teaching and learning, as well as transparent assignment design for greater equity and student success.

How Ungrading Works

Nov 1, 2023, 2:00 – 3:00 PM

Ungrading is a broad and evolving pedagogical practice that resists one standardized definition. One general theme of ungrading is that it urges movement away from traditional assessment and grading practices to support student learning through equity, student-centered instruction, and meaningful feedback, etc. This in-person workshop will introduce instructors to some different approaches to ungrading and explore examples of course implementation.
