Brightspace New Quiz Creation Experience
Thu., Apr. 13, 10-10:30 a.m. ET and Wed., Apr. 26, 1-1:30 p.m. ET
Join us for a sneak peek of the new quiz creation interface coming to Brightspace!
On May 10, 2023, Purdue will adopt the New Quiz Creation Experience in Brightspace. This will replace the current quiz creation interface, so all existing quizzes or newly created quizzes will open in the new experience. D2L has designed the New Quiz Creation Experience to resemble the layout currently seen when creating or editing assignments. This session will provide a side-by-side comparison of our current quiz creation interface and the upcoming quiz creation experience, and highlight some newly added functionalities. Check out this link for additional information on the New Quiz Creation Experience.
Finalizing Your Brightspace Gradebook

Some common topics covered in this workshop include:
-Discover common issues with grade calculations in Brightspace.
-Learn how to set up and activate a grading scheme in Brightspace.
-Demonstrate how to send grades from Brightspace to Banner.

All Purdue West Lafayette instructors, teaching assistants, staff, and students are invited to join the Teaching and Learning Community of Practice (TLCoP) online Mon., April 3, 3-4 p.m. ET, for the final conversation this semester on artificial intelligence (AI) tools and their effect on teaching and learning at PWL.
TLCoP’s third session of the semester will continue the conversations from Jan. 23 (recording) and Feb. 20 (recording). We will explore how some PWL instructors are incorporating this new technology in their courses. A panel of instructors will briefly share their strategies and experiences, but there will also be plenty of time for attendees to share their own ideas and otherwise contribute to the discussion.
Topics will include specific instructional strategies already being used in PWL courses, how students are engaging with AI tools in these courses, and the learning objectives and assessments that are being applied. We are also interested in what students are saying about AI bots such as ChatGPT, and if plans for the rest of spring and into fall semester are being revisited in PWL courses because of these technologies.
Panelist for April 3 include:
–Yung-hsiang Lu, professor, Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
–Tatiana Ringenberg, assistant professor, Computer and Information Technology, Polytech Institute

Purdue West Lafayette instructors of all ranks who are interested in engaging in scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) are invited to apply to a new two-year SoTL Fellowship program that begins this summer and continues through Summer 2025.
For the purposes of this fellowship, SoTL is defined as any scholarly inquiry that reflects on a topic related to teaching and learning, builds on previous research in the field, and is shared with peers. No previous experience with SoTL is required to apply.
The SoTL fellowship will last two years and include an online month-long faculty learning community (FLC) in June 2023 followed by a monthly community of practice (CoP). At the conclusion of their fellowship, participants will have completed a SoTL project and submitted the results for dissemination.
The summer FLC will provide an opportunity for fellows to explore different types of scholarship of teaching and learning projects and design their own SoTL project based on a class they will be teaching with support and feedback from Center for Instructional Excellence staff and peer fellows. During the FLC, participants will:
1. Explore different types of potential SoTL projects.
2. Identify an actionable research question related to a class they will be teaching during the academic year.
3. Examine previous literature related to their research question.
4. Design a SoTL project around their research question.
5. Complete an IRB proposal, if required for their project.
Following the FLC, SoTL fellows will participate in a community of practice that will meet monthly to provide support and feedback as they carry out their SoTL projects throughout the year. During the CoP, participants will:
1. Meet monthly to stay accountable on their SoTL projects (or meet individually with one of the facilitators if they are unavailable).
2. Have the opportunity to seek advice on any potential challenges while conducting their SoTL projects.
3. Provide feedback and support to other fellows on their projects.
4. Act as mentors for later cohorts of SoTL fellows.
SoTL Fellows will receive a $2,000 stipend in two installments, which can be used to facilitate their projects (e.g. buying analysis software, open-source journals etc.). The first installment will be paid following the completion of the summer FLC and the second installment once they have submitted their project for dissemination.
Applicants for the SoTL Fellowship program should completethis online application by Friday, April 21, 2023. SoTL Fellows will be notified of their acceptance by Friday, May 5, 2023. Questions may be directed to Emily Bonem, CIE assistant director of SoTL, ebonem@purdue.edu. You may also visit the SoTL Fellowship webpage.

Artificial Intelligence in Education is among the four topics addressed in Teaching@Purdue, a new professional development curriculum designed to meet the pedagogical needs and goals of different instructors on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus.
Teaching@Purdue offers multiple teaching resources presented in a self-paced, accessible curriculum that allows instructors to follow their own individual development paths. Modules and resources are designed to allow instructors to invest their time as needed – from a quick overview to more in-depth exploration.
All PWL instructors including tenure-track and clinical faculty, lecturers, instructional staff, and graduate teaching assistants are encouraged to take advantage of Teaching@Purdue. Instructors who are new to Purdue will particularly benefit from a perusal of the introductory topics and modules.
The initial offering also includes content areas on Inclusive Pedagogy and Online/Hybrid Course Design. There is also a path designed specifically for new PWL instructors. New modules will be added and announced by Innovative Learning when they are ready. Ideas for future modules are welcome.
The Teaching@Purdue Sharepoint site is public and open to all PWL faculty, staff, and students. Access the Teaching@Purdue modules by signing into the following link with your @purdue.edu email account and password. (You will be prompted to sign into Office 365/SharePoint): https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/sites/Teachingatpurdue.
Each topic is broken down into key points to provide descriptions, tips, and examples.
–Artificial Intelligence in Education provides overview of generative AI applications, considerations for course syllabi and assignments, and creative uses of AI in educational settings.
–Online & Hybrid identifies initial steps for structuring a course and teaching in student-centered online or hybrid learning environments.
–Inclusive Pedagogy seeks to develop an understanding of what inclusive pedagogy is, share attitudes and mindsets that support the creation of inclusive learning environments, and provide tools, resources, examples, and feedback to help instructors put these ideas into practice.
-The New Instructor Path was designed to provide essential information and resources to aid new instructors at PWL.
-A section on PWL’s Foundations of Teaching Excellence outlines the Framework for Teaching Excellence that informs all of the content areas.
Suggestions, questions, and feedback on Teaching@Purdue can be sent to Dr. David Nelson, at nelson8@purdue.edu. Further information on it and other instructional development opportunities available to PWL instructor are available on the Innovative Learning website.
