Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants
Feedback Survey
You may have been teaching online for a while, or perhaps you're teaching online for the first time! Bring your own coffee (or beverage of choice) and join me for an engaging session to demystify U.S. Department of Education's Regular & Substantive Interaction (RSI) and attendance-taking requirements for online courses. By the end of the session, instructors, developers, and program leaders will be able to identify two or more methods by which your online course likely ALREADY satisfies current, and possibly future, federal regulatory requirements.

The ability to work in groups is a valuable learning outcome, but many of us assign students to them without sharing guidance on how to help them be successful. Let’s change that. There’s also a chance we could simultaneously learn how to work better in our own faculty and staff groups!

Practicing What We Preach: Developing Expectations for Faculty AI Use
Friday October 4, 2024 11:00am - 11:50am CDT
Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants
Feedback Survey
The development of course expectations, often in the form of syllabus statements, has been one of the most common responses of faculty to the use of generative AI by students; we have set expectations for the students we educate. For faculty and staff in higher education, however, it remains a “wild west” with the use of generative AI, but formulating expectations for these stakeholders is essential to ensure their use of this technology is feasible. This presentation will introduce and discuss a framework for determining and setting expectations for higher education faculty and staff.
