But these discussion-based classes sometimes don’t go as planned (if they are planned at all). This brief session is based on a recently published article by John Drake\, a professor in the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. Drake advocates an approach called appreciative reading and offers three rules for leading discussion of a research paper: 1: start with a summary\, 2: plan for the life cycle of the discussion\, 3: ensure that disagreement is well-founded. This interactive session will explore Drake’s 3 rules and offer specific advice that you can employ in your next discussion-based class. \nIf you have questions about this Virtual Conversation\, contact Eric Fournier. \n  \nRegistration\n\n \n CompanyThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Preferred First Name (if different)WUSTL Email Address(Required)\n \n What is your role at WashU?(Required)Please Choose One:Adjunct InstructorAdministrator (Deans\, etc.)Assistant ProfessorAssociate ProfessorGraduate StudentLecturerLibrarianOtherPostdocProfessor (Full)Professor of PracticeSenior LecturerStaffTeaching ProfessorVisiting ProfessorIf you chose "Other\," please describe:Year in Graduate Program(Required)12345678910+Primary Program/Department(Required)Please Choose One:African and African American StudiesAmerican Culture StudiesAnthropologyArchitectureArt (Visual Art)Art History and ArchaeologyAudiology and Communication SciencesBiologyBiomedical Engineering (BME)BusinessChemistryClassicsCollege Writing ProgramComparative Literature & ThoughtComputer Science and Engineering (CSE)Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS)Danforth CenterDBBS (Biochemistry Biophysics and Structural Biology)DBBS (Biomedical Informatics & Data Science)DBBS (Cancer Biology)DBBS (Computational and Systems Biology)DBBS (Developmental Regenerative and Stem Cell Biology)DBBS (Evolution Ecology and Population Biology)DBBS (Human and Statistical Genetics)DBBS (Immunology)DBBS (Molecular Biology)DBBS (Molecular Genetics and Genomics)DBBS (Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis)DBBS (Neurosciences)DBBS (Plant and Microbial Biosciences)Division of Computational and Data Sciences (DCDS)Earth\, Environmental\, and Planetary Sciences (EEPS)East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC)EconomicsEducationElectrical and Systems Engineering (ESE)Energy Environmental and Chemical Engineering (EECE)Engineering Communication CenterEnglishEnvironmental StudiesFilm and Media StudiesGenetics CounselingGermanic Languages and LiteraturesGlobal StudiesHistoryImaging ScienceInstitute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMSE)Jewish Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (JIMES)LawLibrariesLinguisticsMathematicsMechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS)MedicineMSTPMusicN/A University AdministrationNursingOccupational Therapy (Rehabilitation and Participation Science)OtherPerforming ArtsPhilosophy (Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology)Physical TherapyPhysicsPolitical SciencePsychological and Brain SciencesPublic Health & Society (A&S)Public Health (School of)Religious StudiesRomance Languages and LiteraturesSever InstituteSocial WorkSociologyStatistics and Data ScienceWomen Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS)If you chose "Other\," please describe:The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants.

It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work.” Freeman\, S.\, et al. (2014). Research overwhelmingly supports the shift from passive learning environments to more active ones\, however this transformation can be difficult to envision in large lecture courses. Participants in this workshop will learn evidence-based strategies to make lectures a more active learning environment. \nIf you have questions about this event\, please contact Dr. Lisa Kuehne\, Assistant Director of Graduate Student and Postdoc Programs. \n  \nRegistration URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/incorporating-active-learning-into-lectures/ LOCATION:Hybrid (Danforth Campus + Zoom) CATEGORIES:- Advanced Workshop (PDT) END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260624T104500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260624T121500 DTSTAMP:20260829T070939 CREATED:20260609T123015Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260609T123312Z UID:20816-1782297900-1782303300@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Strategies for Incorporating AI into Pedagogy: A Nuanced Approach DESCRIPTION:We all have questions about AI and education: Does it serve a relevant purpose in our teaching? Are students actually learning if they use AI? What research has been done to help us make decisions about our approach? \nJoin us as we attend an online CIRTL workshop* that proposes “strategies for integrating AI into pedagogy\, such as inquiry-based learning\, scaffolded assignments\, and competency-based approaches” as a group. This discussion is open to all\, regardless of your current viewpoint on AI in education. We will spend some time getting to know each other\, then actively participate in the workshop together\, and end with a guided discussion about the experience.

The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \n  \nRegistration\n\n\n \n CompanyThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Preferred First Name (if different)WUSTL Email Address(Required)\n \n What is your role at WashU?(Required)Please Choose One:Adjunct InstructorAdministrator (Deans\, etc.)Assistant ProfessorAssociate ProfessorGraduate StudentLecturerLibrarianOtherPostdocProfessor (Full)Professor of PracticeSenior LecturerStaffTeaching ProfessorVisiting ProfessorIf you chose "Other\," please describe:Year in Graduate Program(Required)12345678910+Primary Program/Department(Required)Please Choose One:African and African American StudiesAmerican Culture StudiesAnthropologyArchitectureArt (Visual Art)Art History and ArchaeologyAudiology and Communication SciencesBiologyBiomedical Engineering (BME)BusinessChemistryClassicsCollege Writing ProgramComparative Literature & ThoughtComputer Science and Engineering (CSE)Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS)Danforth CenterDBBS (Biochemistry Biophysics and Structural Biology)DBBS (Biomedical Informatics & Data Science)DBBS (Cancer Biology)DBBS (Computational and Systems Biology)DBBS (Developmental Regenerative and Stem Cell Biology)DBBS (Evolution Ecology and Population Biology)DBBS (Human and Statistical Genetics)DBBS (Immunology)DBBS (Molecular Biology)DBBS (Molecular Genetics and Genomics)DBBS (Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis)DBBS (Neurosciences)DBBS (Plant and Microbial Biosciences)Division of Computational and Data Sciences (DCDS)Earth\, Environmental\, and Planetary Sciences (EEPS)East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC)EconomicsEducationElectrical and Systems Engineering (ESE)Energy Environmental and Chemical Engineering (EECE)Engineering Communication CenterEnglishEnvironmental StudiesFilm and Media StudiesGenetics CounselingGermanic Languages and LiteraturesGlobal StudiesHistoryImaging ScienceInstitute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMSE)Jewish Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (JIMES)LawLibrariesLinguisticsMathematicsMechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS)MedicineMSTPMusicN/A University AdministrationNursingOccupational Therapy (Rehabilitation and Participation Science)OtherPerforming ArtsPhilosophy (Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology)Physical TherapyPhysicsPolitical SciencePsychological and Brain SciencesPublic Health & Society (A&S)Public Health (School of)Religious StudiesRomance Languages and LiteraturesSever InstituteSocial WorkSociologyStatistics and Data ScienceWomen Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS)If you chose "Other\," please describe:The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants.
