SUMMARY:Accessible Word and PowerPoint Documents for Your Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Accessible Word and PowerPoint Documents for Your Teaching\nDate: Wednesday\, February 7th\, 2024 \nTime: 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. (AT) / 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. (ET) / 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. (PT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \nAt YU & TFS\, we are committed to building inclusive communities. Ensuring that students can access and meaningfully engage with their learning materials is foundational to an inclusive learning environment. \nMany of our learning materials – whether assignment instructions\, slide decks\, or lecture and lesson notes – are created in Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint. In this workshop\, we will explore simple\, concrete strategies and tools to maximize the accessibility of documents and slide shows. We’ll review some of the common mistakes that contribute to inaccessible course materials\, and we’ll highlight simple solutions that you can apply right away to remove barriers and increase the accessible engagement with your teaching and learning materials. While we will focus on MS Word and MS PowerPoint primarily\, many of the strategies we’ll explore are transferable to other similar software\, such as Google docs. Whether you’re new to document accessibility or are hoping to brush up existing skills\, please join us.

SUMMARY:Generative AI and Teaching (Part 2): Exploring Opportunities\, Challenges\, and Advancements
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI and Teaching (Part 2): Exploring Opportunities\, Challenges\, and Advancements\nDate: Wednesday\, February 21st\, 2024 \nTime: 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (AT)* / 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. (ET)* / 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. (PT)* \n*15-minute pedagogical presentation\, followed by 45 minutes of community Q+A/discussion \nRegistration link \nThis series of Winter “Webinettes” (15-minute pedagogical presentations followed by 45 minutes of interactive discussion and Q&A) will explore the impact of Generative AI and related technologies on our teaching and learning practices\, including: lesson design and delivery\, assignments and assessments\, and teaching strategies and pedagogies. \nWhether you’re an AI novice\, sceptic\, or already leveraging it in your lessons and courses\, this series of sessions aims to strengthen our AI literacies and guide us in developing and sustaining pedagogically-sound approaches to teaching in the context of AI. Together\, we’ll navigate how educational practices are and can be influenced by new technologies and discuss proactive strategies for integrating generative AI into our courses. \nJoin us for one\, two\, or all of the upcoming webinettes throughout the 2024 Winter term.

SUMMARY:Written Feedback on Written Assignments and Assessments
DESCRIPTION:Written Feedback on Written Assignments and Assessments\nDate: Thursday\, February 29th\, 2024 \nTime: 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. (AT) / 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. (ET) / 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. (PT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \nThe saying “feedback is a gift” is often attributed to American philanthropist\, businessman\, and investor Warren Buffet\, but in our teaching and learning contexts from both faculty members’ and students’ perspectives\, feedback isn’t always bowties and surprise. Feedback as a mode of instruction is often met with dissatisfaction and can even feel anticlimactic: too much time to write and relay (for faculty); too much time to read and reflect on (for students). I’m just wanting/needing the numeric grade (from students); I’m just wanting/needing to help you improve and transform (from faculty). \nWritten feedback on all kinds of written assignments and assessments – from short pieces like reflection papers and discussion posts\, through longer pieces like traditional essays and project reports\, to creative pieces like narratives and screenplays – is a critical\, pedagogical part of students’ learning not just about disciplinary content and knowledges but about communication conventions\, norms\, and strategies. In this workshop\, we will start will identifying these pedagogical benefits of providing effective feedback on students’ written assignments and assessments before we explore some strategies to ensure that the time\, effort\, and heart faculty put into providing feedback fuels learning potential and embraces purposeful curiosity for our students. We will wrap up with considering the challenges\, opportunities\, as well as affordances and constraints of these strategies for improving our feedback processes.
