WAC LIAISONS practices can increase learning and reduce grading time in any class. Our asynchronous workshops are available in the time windows indicated below and on the flyer to the right. Register by clicking on a date range or title.
In under an hour, this asynchronous WAC LIAISONS workshop will guide faculty through adapting their syllabi academic integrity policies for the presence of AI. Policy definitions, expectations, rationale, guidance, and repercussions will be modeled and explained.
Through this asynchronous, Canvas-based workshop, faculty will learn about how to implement an in-class interactive poster session mock conference. The poster conference can replace stale standard student PowerPoint presentations for increased authenticity and student engagement. It is also a wonderful capstone activity to end the semester.
Attempts to evade and detect generative AI use in coursework are never foolproof. To ensure student learning, we can adapt our assignments to better engage students. Focusing on longer assignments and projects, this asynchronous workshop introduces six strategies for reducing AI use in your favorite major assignments.
Incorporating more writing into your courses is a high-impact way to deepen students’ understanding of your course content. Thoughtfully designed writing prompts can yield more focused, confident writing, which in turn can reduce grading time. After introducing some best practices in prompt writing, this workshop will guide faculty as they design a prompt for one class. Please bring a course syllabus.
Take this asynchronous workshop at your own pace. Learn some of the promises and perils of AI chatbots, explore ways to support critical thinking about AI in class, and draft your own in-class AI-infused activity for feedback.
Through this asynchronous, Canvas-based workshop, faculty will learn about designing authentic writing assignments for students that mimic particular writing tasks for your discipline. The workshop will coach faculty on choosing an authentic, discipline-specific writing task and consulting real samples to build a rubric.
Why do professional writers often write the best AI prompts? Because they consider their "rhetorical situation." Understanding a rhetorical situation requires analysis, critical thinking, and empathy. Take this workshop to learn how to write more effective AI prompts and to turn AI prompting into a critical thinking activity for students.
Through this asynchronous, Canvas-based workshop, faculty will learn about scaffolding student success on authentic, discipline-specific writing assignments. This Part 2 workshop builds on Part 1 which coached faculty on choosing an authentic, discipline-specific writing task and consulting real samples to build a rubric. Part 2 will share ideas for embedding mini writing workshops into your course to build students' authentic writing skills.
