"Grief is the normal response of sorrow, heartache, and confusion that comes from losing someone or something important to you. Grief can also be a common human response after a disaster or other traumatic event. This tip sheet contains information about grief, the grieving process, and what happens when the process is interrupted and complicated or traumatic grief occurs. It also offers tips and resources for coping with both types of grief."

The University of Waterloo's Center for Faculty Excellence has shared some interesting approaches for engaging students who are disruptive to your classroom learning environments:

1. Ask the students if they have a question. Sometimes talking during class is legitimate; students have missed a key definition or number and need clarification from someone sitting nearby.

2. Move closer to the disruptive students. Your proximity may signal to them that they are interrupting the class.

3. Make a general statement to the class about the disruption. If you do not feel comfortable singling people out, you can indicate to the class in general that the disruption level is too high and remind them of the ground rules you set on day one.

4. Use an active learning activity. Try a think-pair-share where you have students turn to the person next to them to discuss a problem or question. This will break up the flow of the class and help to re-capture students’ attention. It will also give you an opportunity to approach the disruptive students and discuss your concern with them.

5. Ask those who consistently disrupt the class to see you after class. This will give you an opportunity to air your concerns outside of class and indicate your displeasure with the students’ behavior without embarrassing them in front of the class.

AI Commons Bulletin 1/6/2025
Human-curated news about generative AI for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.

💚 Try This: Create Examples for Critical Analysis
Students can use AI to create an example “in the style of” something, and then evaluate the result. For example, Dickens scholar Dan Doughtery offers: “Write a story about a young man falling in love in the style of Charles Dickens’ novel David Copperfield” (Dougherty).

🔮 Crystal Ball: “Digital Twins”
Watch for this in the next year: virtual models of a specific object, person or system updated using real-time data. Imagine it as a tool for the ultimate personalized learning system.

ℹ️ Students See Feedback from a “Calibrated” AI as Helpful
In this example, instructors augmented a general AI tool with research from their discipline and works from previous students (both = 35 million words). Then instructors had the AI tool give feedback on student assignments. The students loved it.

Is there one question that students ask you over and over again every semester that makes you want to pull out every last hair? Mine is: Do we HAVE to read the two books that will become part of our Flipsnack Virtual Readers' Guide Booklet student learning team project?

If I had a dime for every time I have asked that question or a version thereof. . .

But this time, I've been smart and developed a short Doodly explainer video to help student learning teams when they have waited too long before compiling their materials for their Readers' Guides, leaving themselves with little time to read the two books (along with two recent journal articles and two websites, blogs, or wikis) that are part of the project.

The approach I suggest in this explainer animation is quick and dirty, but it will nevertheless get students headed in the right direction even if they start Monday on a project that is due Friday (of Week 10).

I have embedded the animation into my Week Nine course modules for students' easy reference. In addition, I'll just send the Youtube link to any students who email the dreaded question to me.

Here is the link for anyone who might like to take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NInu_DRtaA
