A few links that have to do with community building and student experience in our program. We also use Teams and SharePoint a lot. ;) Sharing because I'm hoping others will reciprocate!
Graduation and Commencement page: https://maflt.cal.msu.edu/commencement/
Alumni page recently updated to tell alumni how to connect with us and to link to their portfolios better: https://maflt.cal.msu.edu/alumni/
Events page, with a link to the post about our biweekly (fortnightly?) virtual Midweek Meetups, which are open and outward-facing now rather than students only. The rest of the page is out of date: https://maflt.cal.msu.edu/maflt-events.

Recorded Webinar on Generative AI and Teaching at MSU:
Event: An Introduction to Teaching and Generative AI
Facilitators: Stephen Thomas, Jeremy Van hof, and Jake Kasper
https://mediaspace.msu.edu/media/Introduction+to+teaching+with+generative+AI/1_7sww2tmu link
Part 1
The first hour will be focused on general concepts and implications of generative AI (genAI) to your current course. This workshop will introduce you to the concept of genAI and Large Language Models (LLM). We will look at what can be done with them, how students might use them, and how you might think about them in your classroom. You will be given a chance to reflect and discuss how these tools might interact with your assignment prompts and how you might think about your assessment structure.
Part 2
The second hour will be more open for exploration of tools and specific examples of curriculum. Examples will be given for incorporating genAI into disciplinary objectives and what additional genAI skills might be added to course goals. As part of this discussion, we can examine three genAI tools: ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Khanmigo.

In a project that has been in the works for a long time, with an aim to be a platform for positive change at such a large institution, there is a lot of pressure to get it just right. That being said, we hope that in the true nature of prototyping and design iterations, users to the new space approach it with an open mind and a recognition that it's not perfect (but we're committed to making it the best it can be in our current phase).
Has anyone else experienced this tension between a "perfect" end product and launching a new project?

💬 Try This: Use AI to Make Peer Feedback More Effective
Use this prompt: ‘‘I teach a university class where students work on teams for the semester. You are my assistant, who is going to help me provide formative feedback to my students. I collect peer comments periodically throughout out the semester, and I would like you to summarize the comments into a performance feedback review in a way that is constructive and actionable. Additionally, the students assess themselves and I would like you to compare their responses to the peer feedback. The output should be in the form of a letter, and please exclude anything that is inappropriate for the workplace.’’ [If there are less than 2 comments for a student, please provide generic feedback only.]
