SUMMARY:CIRTL Network: Classroom Ethics in Higher Education - Navigating Dilemmas with Intention
DESCRIPTION:Educators at all levels and across content areas navigate daily challenges that emerge from the fraught context of classroom teaching. Apart from the obvious emotional\, intellectual\, and logistical challenges of providing quality instruction\, instructors must also confront intractable dilemmas that pit their own values against the policies and practices of their academic unit or institution at large. This is particularly troubling for graduate and early career instructors who must navigate these spaces without the assurance of institutional protection. In this two-part workshop\, hosted by the Center for the Integration of Research\, Teaching\, and Learning (CIRTL Network)\, instructors and future instructors in higher education are invited to participate in a classroom ethics “bootcamp” that will prepare them for exploring the inherent tensions that arise in the classroom\, from issues of fair student assessment to facing controversial topics in discussion. Most instructors teach how they were taught – this workshop will take the first steps in breaking the pattern of status-quo instruction\, preparing instructors to practice critical reflection and ethical deliberation. Participants should come prepared to discuss topics like end of semester grade rounding\, student emotional disturbance\, class attendance\, and navigating controversial topics. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nApply ethical theories to resolve abstract dilemmas\nIdentify and prioritize at-stake values in various ethical case-studies in the context of teaching in the college or university setting\nArticulate a reasoned defense of their decisions in resolving an ethical dilemma in the context of teaching in the college or university setting.\n\nInstructors\nWalker Ballard\, The Ohio State University\nErin Mercurio\, The Ohio State University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis two-part online workshop meets in Zoom on Wednesday\, July 15 and July 29 at 11am-12:15pm Eastern. \nAudience\nThis session is for anyone interested in classroom ethics in higher education\, though some experience in higher education classrooms as instructor of record might make the session more meaningful. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nInterested in attending? Fill out this short form to get a reminder when registration opens. \nRegistration opens on Monday\, June 29th at 11am ET. Cap: 30. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis. Registrants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. (Cornell is a CIRTL member institution). Once registration closes\, all registrants will be notified of their enrollment status. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact Zoe Zuleger (zmzuleger@wisc.edu) who is supporting this workshop\, to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. In addition to meeting individualized needs\, we will also take measures throughout the workshop to support accessibility for all our students: \n\nSending pre-session reminders with upcoming assignments to all students\nSharing materials for synchronous sessions with students (slides\, activity instructions\, etc.)\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\n\n\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order\, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals; within those goals\, programming might provide participants with an introductory\, intermediate\, or advanced learning experience. \nThis series supports the following CIRTL learning goals at an introductory/intermediate level: \n\nGoal 1: Develop evidence-based teaching knowledge. \nGoal 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching.\nGoal 3: Cultivate teaching skills through reflective improvement. \nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career.

SUMMARY:CIRTL Network: Critical AI Literacy for Teachers and Students - Prompting\, Evaluating\, and Ethically Using Generative AI
DESCRIPTION:Surprised by how fast AI is developing\, yet still cautious about trusting it? Already using AI but wondering how to encourage students to remain critical of its outputs? As generative AI reshapes the educational landscape\, developing critical AI literacy becomes essential for responsible AI use and critical evaluation. This workshop series hosted by the Center for the Integration of Research\, Teaching\, and Learning (CIRTL Network) explores critical AI literacy across various disciplines\, with particular focus on AI prompt literacy\, critical evaluation of AI outputs\, and ethical disclosure practices. Instead of seeing generative AI as a dominant tool\, the workshop encourages participants to see themselves as active and independent decision makers in human-AI collaboration. In session 1\, participants will engage in hands-on activities to iteratively refine prompts that align with their writing purposes and goals\, critically evaluate AI-generated outputs\, and draft counter-text to articulate the reasons for accepting\, modifying\, and rejecting AI outputs. In addition\, participants will draft an AI use disclosure statement to maintain academic and professional integrity and transparency. In session 2\, participants will reflect on and extend these strategies by adapting the workshop activities to their own teaching\, research\, or professional contexts. Through collaborative sharing and discussion\, participants will explore how critical AI literacy practices can be applied in different disciplines and settings. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nDevelop AI prompts with clear attention to purpose\, audience\, genre\, and ethical boundaries\nCritically evaluate AI outputs for accuracy\, bias\, assumptions\, and alignment with disciplinary values\nDecide when to accept\, revise\, or reject AI outputs and explain their reasoning through counter-text to maintain human agency.\nApply critical AI literacy strategies by adapting workshop activities\, prompts\, or evaluation approaches to their own contexts\n\nInstructors\nRuonan Yang\, The Ohio State University\nErin Mercurio\, The Ohio State University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis two-part online workshop meets in Zoom on Monday\, July 13 and July 20 at 1-2:30pm Eastern \nAudience\nAnyone with an interest in critical AI literacy is welcome to participate. Participants who have experience teaching as independent instructors may find it especially helpful\, as it may be easier to adapt the workshop activities to their own teaching contexts. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nInterested in attending? Fill out this short form to get a reminder when registration opens. \nRegistration opens on Monday\, June 29th at 11am ET. Cap: 60. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis. Registrants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. (Cornell is a CIRTL member institution).
