SUMMARY:GenAI and Identity: Developing a Relational Model
DESCRIPTION:GenAI and Identity: Developing a Relational Model\nDate: Monday\, July 6th\, 2026 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (AT) / 1:00-2:30pm (ET) / 10:00-11:30am (PT) \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Description: \n\n\nConversations around GenAI use in the classroom\, in assessments\, and in instruction have often been distilled into two absolutist notions of good and evil\, missing opportunities to expand upon and embrace notions of impacts on identity and nuanced ways of imagining GenAI as a tool and cultural phenomenon. In an effort to surface nuance\, conflation\, and positive contradiction – in other words the human complexity of working with GenAI – this panel will be an opportunity for people to listen in on a conversation with educators from various backgrounds anchored by Indigenous scholars working through an identity exercise and reflecting on their own work with and around GenAI.

SUMMARY:Intersection of Faculty Identity and AI Transparency
DESCRIPTION:Intersection of Faculty Identity and AI Transparency\nDate: Tuesday\, July 21st\, 2026 \nTime: 1:30-2:30pm (AT) / 12:30-1:30pm (ET) / 9:30-10:30am (PT) \nRegistration link \nWebinette Description: \n\n\nNatasha Hannon and Laura Kinderman present work in progress reflecting on the intersections of AI use transparency and faculty identity. We will examine both the developing policies around GenAI use for educators\, including those for disclosure statements and the potential unspoken costs or benefits as well as assumptions that accompany disclosure. The following questions will be addressed in the session: \n\nWe ask faculty to model AI transparency\, but what\, if any\, are the costs (or benefits) of this transparency?\nHow do conceptions of identity impact faculty members practices with respect to acknowledging AI use across domains of faculty practice (development of curriculum\, instructional planning and delivery\, provision of feedback)?\nHow do policies and faculty development initiatives promote or inhibit transparency in AI use among faculty?

SUMMARY:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice (Summer 2026) – August 2026 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice (Summer 2026) – June 2026 Meeting\nDate: Monday\, June 22nd\, 2026 \nTime: 3:30-4:30pm (AT) / 2:30-3:30pm (ET) / 11:30am-12:30pm (PT) \nSign up to join! (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \nFictional Classrooms National Community of Practice Description:   \nOver the past four years\, our very own Matthew Dunleavy (CTEI Senior Educational Developer\, Faculty Excellence and Development) and his colleague\, Robin Sutherland-Harris (York University)\, have facilitated the Fictional Classrooms community. The current iteration brings together educational/curriculum/faculty/instructional developers and instructors from across Canada and the US to explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, television\, short stories\, and novels. These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Summer 2026\, the Fictional Classrooms community will be discussing  Moo (1995) by Jane Smiley (novel):  \n\nPart One – June 22 \nParts Two and Three – July 20\nParts Four and Five – August 17\n\nThe synopsis: \nIn this darkly satirical send-up of academia and the Midwest\, we are introduced to Moo University\, a distinguished institution devoted to the study of agriculture. Amid cow pastures and waving fields of grain\, Moo’s campus churns with devious plots\, mischievous intrigue\, lusty liaisons\, and academic one-upmanship: Chairman X of the Horticulture Department harbors a secret fantasy to kill the dean; Mrs. Walker\, the provost’s right hand and campus information queen\, knows where all the bodies are buried; Timothy Monahan\, associate professor of English\, advocates eavesdropping for his creative writing assignments; and Bob Carlson\, a sophomore\, feeds and maintains his only friend: a hog named Earl Butz. \nYou can read about all these selections (and previous selections) in our what to read/watch list.  \nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2026:  \nPlease sign up as follows:   \n\nVisit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account)\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group.\nMatthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar. \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.
