A couple of resources I want to share:
Preparing Instructional Objectives: A Critical Tool in the Development of Effective Instruction 3rd Edition
by Robert F. Mager (cheap used versions available)

I've only begun digging through this, and I am hoping it will help me to clarify and target the kind of thinking I would like to promote in my teaching:
The Rationality Quotient: Toward a Test of Rational Thinking. Stanovich, West and Toplak

'Smart people do foolish things because intelligence is not the same as the capacity for rational thinking. The Rationality Quotient explains that these two traits, often (and incorrectly) thought of as one, refer to different cognitive functions. The standard IQ test...doesn't measure any of the broad components of rationality—adaptive responding, good judgment, and good decision making. The authors show that rational thinking, like intelligence, is a measurable cognitive competence....[T]hey present the first prototype for an assessment of rational thinking analogous to the IQ test: the CART (Comprehensive Assessment of Rational Thinking).

It's the start of Week Three! Now that enrollments have stabilized, I have students begin working in student learning teams of four-five people this week for the rest of the semester. To assist the student learning teams in my courses, I developed three brief Doodly whiteboard animations in May-June '21 that replace some rather pedestrian Prezi videos used during the 2020-2021 AY. I embed code for these animations in my Week Three course modules on D2L and direct students to them in the Week Three 'Start Here!' guidelines, which are both emailed and shared at the top of the related course module, so student have them in two places. The procedure is similar each week. Anyway, here are links to the animations for those who might be interested:

Out ahead of today's 1pm workshop on Generative AI in the context of IAH courses, here is a freshly posted discussion of how teachers can use ChatGPT from the folks at The New EdTech Classroon:

If that piques you interest, the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities (CISAH) invites you to a workshop on how we can plan ahead in a productive way for the challenges and possibilities presented by generative artificial intelligence (AI). The session will provide concrete guidance for incorporating AI in pedagogically sound ways into our courses. Please bring an existing syllabus or assignment that you would like to modify during the session. Scott Schopieray and Caitlin Kirby of the Enhanced Digital Learning Initiative here at MSU will lead the discussion, which will be recorded for those who are unable to attend at the scheduled time.

Topic: IAH Courses and Generative AI Workshop

"In the Eye of the Storm: Students’ Perceptions of Helpful Faculty Actions Following a Collective Tragedy"
by Therese A. Huston (Seattle University) & Michele DiPietro (Carnegie Mellon University) looks at the ways instructors respond following a tragedy, as well as student reactions to the variety of most common actions.

Abstract
On occasion, our campus communities are shaken by national tragedies such as hurricane Katrina and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, or by local tragedies such as the murder of a faculty member or student. Because these are unusual circumstances, faculty are often initially confused about how to respond, and later have little or no sense of how effective their actions have been (DiPietro, 2003). This paper investigates the most common instructor responses following a tragedy and which of those responses students find most helpful. Implications for faculty and faculty developers are discussed.
