Exploring Best Practices for Assignment Creation and Effective Assessment in the Age of 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.

Leveraging Peer Support for Learning

Effective facilitation in education requires a focus on student engagement and finding diverse ways to enhance learning experiences. One such approach is leveraging peer support, where students collaborate on assignments and engage their peers.

Teaching Shapes: What, Why, and How to Start One on Your Campus

Instructors are often isolated and left to meet the challenges of teaching alone. Teaching Shapes is a peer-to-peer, formative teaching observation program that encourages community building, idea sharing, and self-reflection. In this interactive session, the facilitators will share experiences from Penn State Scranton and Penn State Behrend, and provide you with a resource kit for establishing a Teaching Shapes program on your own campus.
