WHile waiting for my wife to bring home East African food for (Friday) dinner, I came across this new post on generative AI from the folks at Conn Sense Education and thought it might be of interest to people here at MSU's iTeach:

For educators who are interested in photographing their class or learning experience for future educational purposes, please remember to get explicit permission from learners. They should be free to opt-in or out at any time without penalty. For ease, here is a general education photo release (note, this release DOES NOT cover promotional or advertising uses).

We are hosting a virtual, pre-semester meeting on August 22 to start building our learning community, Navigating Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in the Classroom. Here is the description of the learning community, which you can also find on the OFASD website: "The use of large language models, such as ChatGPT, has exploded onto the educational scene with lots of unanswered questions about its implications in the classroom.

We are hosting a virtual, pre-semester meeting on August 22 to start building our learning community, Navigating Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models in the Classroom. Here is the description of the learning community, which you can also find on the OFASD website: "The use of large language models, such as ChatGPT, has exploded onto the educational scene with lots of unanswered questions about its implications in the classroom. This learning community will build on the many sources of information that probe these questions, participants’ experiences in the classroom, and create plans to develop guidelines and action research around these questions."


The meeting is Tues, August 22 from 10-11:30am on Zoom. We plan to spend the first part of the meeting doing some introductions, gathering information about members' specific goals for involvement, and share some of the campus resources around generative AI, including a streamlined version of our "generative AI in the classroom" workshop. Please register here if you plan to attend so we get a general sense of how many folks will participate: https://msu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcodu6grT4iG9z6AtbgcsDydWnZ2IY4VINN


If you have to miss this one, don't worry! We also have a Teams that you can join if you want to stay updated: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19%3a6oievzPpG1-Gu3eebonZyK2vpjzfc3ANdaMoCAAqnYQ1%40thread.tacv2/General?groupId=c0bd0cf9-f952-47e1-a2e6-0221348612e2&tenantId=22177130-642f-41d9-9211-74237ad5687d
We plan to have a monthly hybrid meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 9am in the STEM building, with an optional co-working session on the third Thursday of every month at 9am.

Interim Guidance on Data Uses and Risks of Generative AI
(source site https://tech.msu.edu/about/guidelines-policies/generative-ai/)

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) language models, including products like ChatGPT and Bard, are powerful tools that can assist with various tasks from teaching and learning, to writing support, to data analysis. No generative AI product currently has a formal agreement with Michigan State University, but users looking for a generative AI tool can find a list of IT approved software for individual use here. Note that any use of generative AI tools must adhere to this interim guidance. Users who choose to use these publicly available generative AI tools should understand the potential risks and limitations associated with publicly available versions of them. This interim guidance outlines recommendations regarding the types of data that may and may not be entered into consumer or commercial generative AI products, with specific considerations for higher education, MSU policies, and institutional needs. It also offers an overview of limitations to be aware of when using generative AI and offers some current best practices for working with these tools.

Further guidance regarding more specific needs like handling generative AI in teaching and learning activities, selecting and adopting AI tools, creating sample syllabus language, and more will follow in the coming months as MSU continues to explore how most effectively to leverage these new tools in a way that meets the university’s needs while keeping our data and users safe.

Multiple stories and sentiments were generously shared by 4/4 Beyond Buzzwords: Ungrading workshop participants (thank you for your vulnerability and candor) about the varied ways in which students react to, and make assumption / inferences about their instructors, after the employment of ungrading and ungrading-inspired practices.

Multiple stories and sentiments were generously shared by 4/4 Beyond Buzzwords: Ungrading workshop participants (thank you for your vulnerability and candor) about the varied ways in which students react to, and make assumption / inferences about their instructors, after the employment of ungrading and ungrading-inspired practices.

This article (linked below) "Academe Has a Lot to Learn About How Inclusive Teaching Affects Instructors" By Chavella Pittman and Thomas J. Tobin in The Chronicle of Higher Education on FEBRUARY 7, 2022 will likely be of interest to you. Starting out by recognizing / acknowledging the power held by some identities (core, chosen, and given) but not by others, complicates the idea that all educators have the same "power and authority" to give up/share to increase learners' sense of ownership and agency in the classroom. ""What if you have neither the institutional authority (a full-time or tenure-track job) nor the dominant-culture identity (by virtue of your race, gender, and/or ability) that usually go hand in hand with being treated as a respected, powerful presence in the college classroom?... In urging faculty members to adopt inclusive teaching practices, we need to start asking if they actually can — and at what cost, " say Pittman and Tobin.

Take-aways shared in this piece include:
1. Understand that your classroom choices may unintentionally affect or undercut a colleague
2. Discuss in your department the issue of bias in students' rating of teaching
3. Respect the variability among your colleagues, as well as among your students
4. Find trained help

"Share your stories, experiences, and thought processes as you negotiate your instructor role in the classroom..." iteach.msu.edu is one space where we can continue to help "normalize the conversation about instructor identity and status as a necessary element in the adoption of inclusive design and teaching practices".

the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities invites you to attend a workshop on Alternate Grading April 21st, from 10 to 11:30 am via Zoom.

We are honored to welcome Prof. Nicole Coleman of Wayne State University to run the workshop. If you are interested in learning ways to prioritize learning over grading and to make assessments more meaningful for students, you may want to consider a new grading system. Coleman will lead an interactive program on her experiences with teaching courses in both the Specs Grading and Ungrading structures. She will provide some information on how each system works and the theory behind them. She will then guide educators in adjusting an assignment or a syllabus to work with these methods. Please bring a rubric and/or a syllabus to the session to be able to participate fully in this workshop.
