Please join us for a discussion featuring members of the UWT AI Community of Practice (and YOU!) focusing on real-world experiences with AI beyond policy, including their specific approaches, discussions, assignments, activities, in the classroom…and thoughts about the future.

This session builds on the information and ideas presented in an earlier Elevate session on AI and Classroom policies, but attendance (or reading the materials) is NOT a prerequisite!

Thursday, March 9, 12:30-1:30p

Join Rebecca Disrud, Director of the Writing Center, and Ruth Vanderpool, Associate Teaching Professor of Mathematics, for a one-hour workshop on how you can design a peer review activity to engage your students and boost their learning. The workshop will cover the counterintuitive research on what peer review helps students do—it’s not what you think—and show real peer review activities from UWT courses.

Teaching Tip Live: Student Publishing with Google Sites

Canvas provides a plethora of useful features for facilitating a rich learning experience, but it is not particularly useful for teaching and learning in the open. Google Sites is a simple web publishing for students (and teachers!) to easily publish, and work, outside the Canvas walls. Like a tent. Get it? Onward!

Topics include:

  • What is Google Sites?
  • Why Open Teaching and Learning?
  • Don’t Fear the FERPA
  • How to Access and Build Google Sites
  • Examples from UW and Beyond
