Tried a new discussion with my 200-level course on the first day! Brief explanation about what generative AI is and asked - "Is it better to be a robot or a human? Why?" After lots of responses about emotional connection, empathy, and outlets for our personal experiences, I asked, "How do you plan to bring your human-ness to our class?" They talked about wanting to hear others' personal experiences, perspectives, and ideas about solving social problems. They want to show empathy for their pee...

Tried a new discussion with my 200-level course on the first day! Brief explanation about what generative AI is and asked - "Is it better to be a robot or a human? Why?" After lots of responses about emotional connection, empathy, and outlets for our personal experiences, I asked, "How do you plan to bring your human-ness to our class?" They talked about wanting to hear others' personal experiences, perspectives, and ideas about solving social problems. They want to show empathy for their peers and they want to receive it. Part of my syllabus AI policy reads, "The use of AI robs us all of the opportunity to learn from our human experiences and from each other, to play with our creative freedoms, to problem-solve, and to contribute our ideas in authentic ways. In a nutshell, college is a place for learning and critical thinking. AI simply cannot do that learning for us. Use of AI (like ChatGPT) to complete any class assignment is considered academic misconduct in this class." I used the discussion as a way for them to do this rationalizing for themselves.

Assessment in my class includes weekly quizzes (which could pretty easily be answered with AI; just meant to be a concept check) and semester-long project-based skills development assignments.

Hi folks -

Thanks to everyone who attended our faculty kickoff on Friday! I've posted a link to the meeting recording below, as promised. I've also included links to the kickoff feedback form and survey for fall professional development interests/preferences. If you could take a few minutes to fill either (or ideally both) out, it would be greatly appreciated!

We are writing to invite you to join the pilot program for H5P’s D2L integration and a few special features.

Through CTLI’s Catalyst Innovation Program, we are giving out a limited number of free H5P.com accounts for faculty/grad students for this academic year. This will allow you to create lots of different types of activities, assign them to your students through D2L, have their grades automatically populated in the Gradebook (if desired), and also receive data about how your students ...

We are writing to invite you to join the pilot program for H5P’s D2L integration and a few special features.

Through CTLI’s Catalyst Innovation Program, we are giving out a limited number of free H5P.com accounts for faculty/grad students for this academic year. This will allow you to create lots of different types of activities, assign them to your students through D2L, have their grades automatically populated in the Gradebook (if desired), and also receive data about how your students interacted with the content.

The D2L H5P basic integration lets you:
Insert activities with one click directly into a D2L course (no more embed codes requiring activities to be public or going through another provider like Pressbooks)
Connect select activities with the D2L Gradebook

+ our subscription also includes these special features:
Detailed reports on how learners interact with the activity, no matter where the H5P activity is in the course (as a topic or in a page)
Let learners resume activities (especially useful for larger content types like Interactive Video/Course Presentation/Interactive Book)

+ Smart Import feature (AI) lets you import audio/text/video and you will get quick transcripts and suggested activities pre-built that will shorten activity creation time (currently only in English, more languages to be added soon).

Any activities you create via our pilot account using Smart AI, for example, can certainly be exported out to a different regular H5P account(s).

Some of you might have also looked into nolej.io recently (very similar to Smart Import), but we have been told that H5P.com is much better with regards to compliance, privacy, security and stability.

You could contact me (gacs@msu.edu) or Shannon Quinn (sdquinn@msu.edu) to request an account, you will be given a form to fill out listing any D2L course shells (development courses or communities would work too) where you would like to test the H5P integration.
