Join us for the plenary session in which 2 of the recipients will discuss their use of effective, active, and engaging pedagogy, their passion for teaching and students’ learning, and their approaches to teaching and learning activities.
In this session, faculty colleagues will discuss their use of 2 student response systems: Top Hat and Poll Everywhere. Dr. Yang will discuss her uses of Top Hat for class polling, student self-introductions, and group discussions. Dr. Taherian will discuss his use of Poll Everywhere for in-class quiz competitions in multiple courses to get students excited and engaged.
This session highlights the use of library resources! The first is an innovative and sustainable assignment using the ProQuest database, where students create a letter to the editor based on opinions found in a major newspaper column. This second will provide foundational citation information and related tips for works produced through artificial intelligence.
Join this session to explore how two instructors address assignment design in light of artificial intelligence. Learn how one instructor is meeting ChatGPT head-on using a collaborative assignment. Another instructor will explain the best practices that promote academic integrity and effective assessments regardless of whether artificial intelligence is available for student use or not.
Case studies exploring complex challenges recently faced in the real world provided the opportunity for peer-to-peer teaching and the strengthening of problem-solving skills. In the communication and biology classrooms, students applied their learning to develop a range of solutions to real-world problems.
Meeting the needs of each student is essential for retention of students in courses and programs. Applying a student-centered perspective and approach can strengthen an instructor’s ability to meet the needs of all students.
