SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: August 5th - August 16th
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course this summer? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the fall? New to WashU and/or new to designing your own course? The CTL’s Course Design Institute (CDI) is for you! \nThis intensive course design institute\, spread out over 2 weeks\, will guide participants in planning and preparing to teach a course that is supported by the latest research in teaching and learning. During the CDI\, facilitators will model and discuss a range of tools and strategies that can enhance your instruction\, increase student engagement\, ensure alignment between course goals and assessments\, and establish an inclusive learning environment for your students. \nParticipants who fully engage in the program will leave with a significant portion of their course planning finished\, including clearly delineated learning goals\, an assessment/assignment plan\, strategies for student engagement and Canvas use\, a draft of the syllabus and course policies\, and a detailed plan for the first day of class. \nThe CDI will be conducted through a combination of daily self-paced learning modules in Canvas and three\, hour-long synchronous Zoom meetings. Overall time commitment for participating includes 4 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 1-2 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nThe content for the two-week August CDI is the same as our previous one-week versions\, but we have spread it out over two weeks based on participant feedback to allow for deeper engagement with the material. \nLive sessions will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm via Zoom (Tuesday\, August 6th\, Thursday\, August 8th\, Tuesday\, August 13th\, and Thursday\, 15th). To participate\, faculty must commit to attending three of the four live sessions. \nProgram Learning Objectives:\nParticipants will: \n\nLearn about and employ backwards design to develop a course plan;\nDesign\, develop\, and build materials for their course including learning goals\, assessment plan\, syllabus\, and more;\nDiscover strategies for helping students thrive\, including ways to promote meaningful interaction and support equitable learning; and\nExperience Canvas from the perspective of a student in a course.\n\nPlease contact the CTL with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Fall at WashU. If you are a graduate student who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact the CTL for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Summer AI Institute (August)
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about generative artificial intelligence (AI) and teaching but don’t know where to begin? Curious about how you might use AI in the classroom? Concerned about the implications of AI for student learning and academic integrity? Then our Summer AI Institute is for you! \nOur August Summer AI Institute takes place from August 5th – August 15th and consists of three components: \n\nAI Quick Study Series: Participants complete four self-paced Quick Study modules from the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) . Through these high-quality sessions\, instructors will learn effective methods for prompting AI\, how to use AI to efficiently develop course resources\, how to foster responsible use of AI tools\, and how to develop AI-inclusive as well as AI-resistance learning experiences. In total\, the four modules are expected to take approximately 4 hours to complete. The Office of the Provost is making this course available to institute participants at no cost.\nTeaching with AI: Participants will also receive a copy of Teaching with AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning by José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson. This book offers thoughtful chapters on Thinking with AI\, Teaching with AI\, and Learning with AI. As a supplement to the Quick Study Series\, the book presents another perspective on the issues surrounding generative AI and instruction.\nWashU Discussion Sessions: Participants take part in two synchronous moderated discussions on Zoom where instructors can share their thoughts\, ideas\, and concerns about generative AI with other WashU instructors.\n\nAugust 5th\, 10:00 am – 11:00 am: The first session at the start of the institute provides WashU instructors an interdisciplinary space to discuss their questions and concerns regarding generative AI with colleagues from across the university.\nAugust 15th\, 10:00 am – 11:30 am: The second session at the end of the institute is an opportunity to talk about what was learned about AI over the course of the institute\, share ideas to use in upcoming courses\, and ask further questions about the role of generative AI in teaching and learning.\n\n\n\nParticipants in the institute will also have an opportunity to contribute to the CTL’s Open AI Assignment repository. \nThe Summer AI Institute is open to all WashU faculty and staff\, although space is limited. Advanced registration is required. The Summer AI Institute will be repeated with additional cohorts June 17th -27th and July 8th – July 18th. \nPlease contact Eric Fournier with any questions: efournier@wustl.edu \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Alternative Grading Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Have you always wanted to try alternative grading in one of your courses\, but just needed the time to sit down and figure everything out? Are you looking to discuss alternative grading ideas with colleagues in a supportive environment? Then join us at the Alternative Grading Bootcamp! \n\nWHAT: The bootcamp is an idea that emerged from the participants in the Spring 2024 faculty reading community\, which read Grading for Growth\, a book on implementing various forms of alternative grading in college courses. The format of the bootcamp is simply two days where instructors meet in person in January Hall 110 on the Danforth Campus to actively work on the nuts and bolts of alternative grading for their classes. Instead of working alone at home or in the office\, the bootcamp offers a chance to work alongside others who are also trying to figure out alternative grading and who can be consulted with as needed. The two days are about a week apart so that members of this community also have time between sessions to reflect and work on their own before coming back for a second round of discussions with colleagues. The bootcamp is NOT a workshop; it’s a chance to dedicate time to actually figuring out syllabi\, assignments\, and whatever else you need to do to get alternative grading off the ground in your course. Bring your laptop and whatever course planning materials you need. Lunch will be provided.\nWHEN: Thursday\, July 25th and Friday August 2nd.  The bootcamp is planned for 10a – 3p each day\, but we may adjust the times slightly if there are strong opinions for other start/end times. We understand that you may have other commitments\, so participants can always come and go as needed during the day. And while we hope that you can join us for both days of the bootcamp\, if you can only participate one of the days\, that’s ok too.\nWHO: The bootcamp is aimed at instructors who have some prior knowledge and/or experience with alternative grading\, broadly defined. The main target audience is the participants from the recent faculty reading community on alternative grading\, but we welcome other members of the WashU community with alternative grading experience or a demonstrated interest in implementing alternative grading in a Fall 2024 course. Space in the bootcamp is limited to ensure a productive environment for working on courses.\n\nAdvanced registration is required. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Rick Moore: rick.moore@wustl.edu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: May 20th - May 24th
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course this summer? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the fall? New to WashU and/or new to designing your own course? The CTL’s Course Design Institute (CDI) is for you! \nThis week-long intensive course design institute will guide participants in planning and preparing to teach a course that is supported by the latest research in teaching and learning. During the CDI\, facilitators will model and discuss a range of tools and strategies that can enhance your instruction\, increase student engagement\, ensure alignment between course goals and assessments\, and establish an inclusive learning environment for your students. \nParticipants who fully engage in the program will leave with a significant portion of their course planning finished\, including clearly delineated learning goals\, an assessment/assignment plan\, strategies for student engagement and Canvas use\, a draft of the syllabus and course policies\, and a detailed plan for the first day of class. \nThe CDI will be conducted through a combination of daily self-paced learning modules in Canvas and three\, hour-long synchronous Zoom meetings. Overall time commitment for participating includes 3.5 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 2-3 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nLive sessions will take place via Zoom on Monday\, May 20th\, Wednesday\, May 22nd\, and Friday\, May 24th from 10-11am CT. To participate\, faculty must commit to attending the three live sessions. \nProgram Learning Objectives:\nParticipants will: \n\nLearn about and employ backwards design to develop a course plan;\nDesign\, develop\, and build materials for their course including learning goals\, assessment plan\, syllabus\, and more;\nDiscover strategies for helping students thrive\, including ways to promote meaningful interaction and support equitable learning; and\nExperience Canvas from the perspective of a student in a course.\n\nPlease contact Dr. Rick Moore\, Assistant Director of Assessment and Evaluation with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Summer or Fall at WashU. If you are a graduate student who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact Dr. Rick Moore for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration
