Our first meeting is tomorrow morning at 10am: Friday, September 30, 2022, and we hope you'll join us! IN the meantime, here is another recent book title that might be interesting to peruse more closely since it seems to be about designing inclusive online learning experiences for students.

1) Designing Accessible Learning Content: A Practical Guide to Applying best-practice Accessibility Standards to L&D Resources 1st Edition (2021) -- Susi Miller

2) Dive Into UDL, Second Edition: Immersive Practices to Develop Expert Learners 2nd Edition (2022) -- Kendra Grant and Luis Perez

3) What Inclusive Instructors Do (2021) -- Tracie Marcella Addy et al


Amazon has a number of buying options. As with the previously shared titles, these are not required, but they might make for interesting reading and exploration given our learning community's focus.

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.

ASK ME ANYTHING TODAY with Megan Kudzia - Digital Pedagogy/Research in Current Remote Moment

Megan Kudzia is a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Michigan State University. Based in the Library’s Digital Scholarship Lab, she works with faculty and library colleagues, particularly on designing digital assignments and embedding in classes, and also with students on their digital projects. She is professionally involved in DH@MSU, Code4Lib, ILiADS, and Mi-ALA.



This AMA is answering your questions about digital pedagogy and digital research. Rather than addressing the Core technologies we’re using in teaching online, today we’re grappling with the often-steep learning curve for tools and methods such as website building, coding generally, textual analysis, or digital mapping. If you are struggling with how to structure assignments geared toward this type of work due to our current inability to troubleshoot together in person, or if you are a learner struggling with feelings of frustration as you try to muddle through on your own, let’s talk! Ask me anything.

🍔 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.

🧬 Think of AI Uses as Along a Continuum
Monash University describes four examples of AI use in their courses:
1. Explore AI with students to build AI Literacy and discuss academic integrity.
2. Design assessments that focus on process rather than product to build critical thinking.
3. Incorporate new AI-enabled activities, like simulated personas.
4. Use AI for basic assessment, freeing educators to focus on personalized feedback.
