SUMMARY:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – June 2025 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fictional Classrooms: National Community of Practice – June 2025 Meeting\nDate: Monday\, June 16th\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nSign up to join! (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account) \n  \nFictional Classrooms National Community of Practice Description:   \nOver the past three 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 2025\, the Fictional Classrooms community is delving into Donna Tartt’s novel The Secret History (1992).  \nThe Secret History Synopsis:  \nUnder the influence of their charismatic Classics professor\, a group of clever\, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality\, their lives are changed profoundly and forever\, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.  \nThe Fictional Classrooms Community Summer 2025 Schedule:  \nThe novel is nicely split into two books\, so we will meet twice on the following Mondays from 1:00-2:00pm EST via Zoom:  \n\nMonday\, June 16th – Book 1 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\n\nMonday\, August 18th – Book 2 of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History \n\nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2025:  \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) \n\n\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group \n\n\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.

SUMMARY:Dr. Ben Lee Taylor on the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) Project and the value of SoTL
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ben Lee Taylor on the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) Project and the value of SoTL\nDate: Monday\, June 23rd\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegister here! \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nWhen ChatGPT launched publicly in November 2022\, Ben Lee Taylor was teaching writing-intensive courses and serving on an academic integrity committee at Seneca Polytechnic in Toronto. By December 2022\, the committee was already adjudicating its first case of suspected AI misuse by a student\, sparking questions about how this new technology might forever reshape the landscape of higher education. For Dr. Taylor\, these questions ultimately evolved into the Generative AI and Assessment (GAIA) project\, a multiphase study funded by McMaster University’s MacPherson Institute involving surveys of Canadian instructors\, analysis of sample assessments\, and follow-up interviews.   \nThis session will introduce some of the project’s findings and outputs (including a descriptive assessment design framework)\, while also detailing some key practical steps involved in SoTL research\, from question formation to ethics approval\, recruitment\, and data management. In doing so\, the session will explore how SoTL research offers opportunities to investigate specific teaching contexts\, contribute to broader pedagogical conversations\, engage in meaningful cross- and interdisciplinary collaboration\, and develop new technical and professional skills.   \nIf you’ve ever had questions or thoughts about teaching and learning that are worth investigating systematically\, this session will hopefully make the SoTL research process feel more accessible and less intimidating.  \nSoTL Speaker Bio: \nBen Lee Taylor received his PhD in English from York University in 2021\, where his dissertation examined the intersections of gender politics and artistic production in early 20th century satire. His experiences teaching during and after the COVID-19 pandemic\, however\, led him to pursue a postdoctoral fellowship with McMaster University’s MacPherson Institute. In this position\, he conducted a study (results pending) investigating how university and college instructors in Canada continue to respond to generative AI through assessment practices. He currently oversees writing support programs and services for undergraduate and graduate students with McMaster’s Student Success Centre\, and his thinking about the role that generative AI can and should play in the writing process fluctuates daily.
