All Purdue West Lafayette instructors, teaching assistants, staff, and students are invited to join the Teaching and Learning Community of Practice (TLCoP) online Mon., Feb. 20, 3-4 p.m. ET, to continue the conversation of the semester’s topic of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and their effect on the teaching and learning of writing.
TLCoP’s second session of the semester will continue the conversation that began on Jan. 23 (recording). We will explore how this new technology might affect course learning outcomes, assessment, and activities. A cross-curricular panel of instructors will share their insights, but there will also be time for attendees to contribute to the discussion. You may also submit your questions and ideas on the topic to rfundato@purdue.edu.
Topics may include, but are not limited to questions of:
-What do I want students to learn and how might the availability of AI tools cause me to rethink these outcomes or change my plans to help students to accomplish them?
-How might AI tools affect assessment of learning outcomes – including, but not limited to academic integrity?
-Do I need to make adjustments to assignments?
Please register for this Zoom session. Further details on the community of practice are available on the TLCoP website.
