SUMMARY:Nourishing Feedback: Reclaiming Student Input
DESCRIPTION:How can we gather useful feedback from our students that feels nourishing instead of draining? In this 90-minute workshop we’ll talk about how to effectively gather actionable feedback from your class in a way that turns the process into one that’s more joyous than dreadful. We’ll also discuss strategies for processing that feedback whether it comes from something you gathered yourself or is from the official course evaluation process. If the stress of student evaluations gives you hives but you still want to learn about your students’ experience in your course\, then this workshop is for you! \nIf you have questions about this workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Dr. Justin Shaffer: The Importance of Structure and Scaffolding in STEM Course Design
DESCRIPTION:The CTL is pleased to welcome Dr. Justin Shaffer for this special workshop focused on designing effective STEM courses. This event is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and Here & Next. \nAbout the workshop: High structure course design is an evidence-based strategy used to engage and scaffold students throughout the learning process via pre-class content acquisition and formative assessment\, in-class active learning and problem solving\, after-class review and practice\, and frequent summative assessment. This model of course design has been shown to increase student learning\, reduce performance gaps\, and promote development of students’ self-regulated learning skills. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to explain what high structure course design is\, describe how high structure course design is beneficial to student learning and other outcomes\, and develop ideas for implementing principles of high structure course design into their own courses. \n  \nDr. Justin Shaffer\nAbout Justin Shaffer: Justin Shaffer\, PhD\, is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies and a Teaching Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering and in Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. Justin is the author of the book High Structure Course Design which gives practical hands-on advice for creating STEM courses that engage students in and out of the classroom and improve student outcomes. Justin is an award-winning educator who has taught 8500+ students since 2012 in the areas of chemical engineering\, biomedical engineering\, biology\, and anatomy and physiology and has published 25+ peer-reviewed journal articles and teaching materials on the efficacy of high structure courses\, active learning\, and related topics. Justin is the founder of Recombinant Education where he provides STEM program characterization and professional development to faculty and administrators in the areas of course and curriculum design\, evidence-based teaching practices\, and discipline-based education research. \n  \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please email Eric Fournier. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Fall 2025 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe featured book for the Fall 2025 Faculty Reading Community will be The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger. From the publisher’s website: In these days of an ever-expanding internet\, generative AI\, and term paper mills\, students may find it too easy and tempting to cheat\, and teachers may think they can’t keep up. What’s needed\, and what Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger offer in this timely book\, is a new approach—one that works with the realities of the twenty-first century\, not just to protect academic integrity but also to maximize opportunities for students to learn. The Opposite of Cheating presents a positive\, forward-looking\, research-backed vision for what classroom integrity can look like in the GenAI era\, both in cyberspace and on campus. Accordingly\, the book outlines workable measures teachers can use to better understand why students cheat and to prevent cheating while aiming to enhance learning and integrity. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode and Time: The Faculty Reading Community will meet in person on the Danforth Campus\, at 10-11am on the following Mondays: Sept 15\, 29; Oct 13\, 27; and Nov 10. \nThe Fall 2025 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology\, and Elina Salminen\, Assistant Director of Educational Development. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu) or Elina (elinasalminen@wustl.edu). \n\nRegistration

SUMMARY:AI Learning Community: Teaching with Custom AI Chatbots
DESCRIPTION:With generative AI making its way into all manner of domains\, educators have a role to play in teaching students how to use AI effectively and ethically\, as well as when to avoid using it altogether. One way we can exercise some agency in this work is to make use of custom AI chatbots. By designing interactive AI agents that fit our teaching goals\, might we be in a better position to help students learn with and about AI? \nThis learning community is for instructors interested in experimenting with custom AI chatbots in their teaching. We will look at tools for building chatbots\, from ChatGPT’s “GPTs” and Gemini’s “Gems” to education-focused platforms like BoodleBox and Cogniti. We will also explore use cases for custom chatbots in teaching and learning along with promising practices for using custom chatbots to support student learning. \nFormat\nSeven sessions on Zoom from 2:00 – 3:00 pm CST on the following Tuesdays:\n•September 2\, 16\, 30\n•October 14\, 28\n•November 11\n•December 2 \nA Teams environment will be available for notes\, questions\, comments\, collaboration\, and resource sharing. \nFor questions about this learning community\, contact Anna Cunningham. \nRegistration\nAdvance registration has ended.
