Hello again everyone,

Namaskar/Sewaro! We, Stokes and Marohang, invite you to join our “Digital Collaborative Learning for the 21st Century 2.0 Learning Community” on 10-11am on Friday, December 08, 2023 US Eastern Time (ET) Kathmandu Time 7:45 PM.

We look forward to continuing the discussion of the use of digital and cloud-based tools in our work with students across all modalities, as well as the challenges and opportunities that digital collaborative practices afford both students and instructors. We are interested in exploring links between digital collaborative learning and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) pedagogy, and how the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) might play a role these activities and aims.

Our meeting is via Zoom, and you can find the recurring link and passcode below. To assist everyone with their planning, our meetings for Fall 2023 are scheduled for the following dates and times:

10-11am on Friday, October 13, 2023 US Eastern Time (ET) Kathmandu Time 7:45 PM

AI Commons Bulletin 12/18/2024
Human-curated news about generative AI for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.

🍔 Try This: Use AI to generate scenario examples

If you often use examples and scenarios in your lectures, AI can refresh them or generate new ones quickly.

BUT: Characters in gen AI scenarios can display a bias toward western culture. To mitigate, add this to your prompt “Ensure that the name used is gender inclusive and representative of a diverse cultural/ethnic background” (Mirowsky, 2024)

🧲 Google Releases New “Learn About” AI Tool

The tool “helps you explore academic topics & concepts.” The layout resembles a textbook, includes additional audio and video sources, and further topics are even organized by terms that Bloom’s uses under comprehension: Understand, Explain, Describe.

BUT: Learning is not saved. Once you close the page, the session is gone.

Hello! I am Anne Baker and today I will be hosting an AMA on designing elearning modules. I currently work for MSU Extension as an learning and talent devleopment specialist, and because we have 600+ MSU employees dispersed across the state of Michigan, I spend a lot of time designing and delivering elearning modules. Before my current position, I worked as an instructional designer in private industry. I also have worked a lot with language teaching and the use of technology to support language learners. My favorite authoring tool is Articulate Storyline, but good elearning modules can be created in many ways. Let's have a conversation about elearning modules!

So why do educators work with the Hub? Here’s what we’ve heard…
Educators collaborate with the Hub to design learning experiences. We help you understand learners, map the experience, prototype and test the experience, and create a plan for success and sustainability.

Educator units come to us to help create the conditions for growth and change you’d like to see in your program. We provide a variety of facilitated sessions to help with team alignment, strategic planning, change management, and learning and development for long-term transformation.

Educators come to us to help facilitate design sprints. Design sprints provide key insights for solving complex challenges and a powerful team-building opportunity. We can facilitate sprints focused on your strategy, process, research, and culture.

If you’ve collaborated with the Hub on a project, tell us more about your experience in the comments below!

ASK ME ANYTHING with Justin Wigard -- Zines and Zine-Making as Critical Pedagogy.

Earlier this year, I taught ENG 342: "Playful Literature and Literary Games," a special topics literature seminar geared around the intersections between play and literature. As a result, this course centered zines, smallscale and handmade publications that offer opportunities for marginalized voices to make themselves heard. This culminated in a project where students forged their own entry point into these popular genres by creating a zine related to play, games, or taking the form of a game-zine. Because zines are an intimate literary form designed for smallscale distribution and are handcrafted, the zine stands as a perfect entry point to blending scholarship with creation, design with theory. Throughout the day, I will be online talking through approaches to teaching zines in the online classroom, particularly approaches to incorporating, analyzing, and making zines. Come ask me anything!

I wrote this attached article to share my top 9 tips about online teaching for an audience of History & Philosophy of Science educators. It's called "You Can Teach Online! Designing effective and engaging online courses." It features the SOIRÉE "magic table" by Rachel Barnard. It was published in the Canadian Society for HPS' Communiqué newsletter in Autumn 2020 (p.42-44).

Want to gain experience sharing your work with a wider audience? This workshop is designed to help you describe your research project in three minutes using only a single Powerpoint slide. Participants will also gain experience providing helpful feedback to others on their presentation skills. The Translating Your Thesis to the World workshop, facilitated by Lauren Collier-Spruel, is now live!

Just stumbled upon an interesting article on using Bloom's Revised Taxonomy to design our assignments and foster critical thinking skills among student in the process. I've attached the pdf here for anyone who might like to read it more closely.
