This resource guide explains a bit about what generative AI is and how it works while outlining potential uses and approaches to AI in the classroom. Section 4, “Strategies for Effective Teaching in the Age of AI,” shares new ways you might ask students to demonstrate their skills, knowledge, and abilities.
Assessment
This post provides an overview of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), a systematic approach to collecting and analyzing data related to your teaching practice and sharing that work with others. Features both a case study and on-campus resources/services related to assessment.
Inclusive course design is an iterative process that begins with adopting a reflective and equity-minded approach to teaching and learning. An equity-minded approach involves intentionally applying pedagogical strategies to curriculum development and assessment that engage students in meaningful, relevant, and empowering learning experiences as well as identifying and removing barriers to student success.
Multimodal assessments are alternative, often digital, assessments that allow students to demonstrate skills and knowledge in a new way by presenting them in multiple forms. Multimodal assignments can either stand alone as an independent assessment or ask students to re-envision an existing assignment, like an essay, into a different format, like a podcast or infographic.
Faculty from Math, Chemistry, and Neuroscience share lessons learned when moving from a few high-stakes assessments (exams) to more frequent low-stakes assessments (quizzes) and in one case providing a mastery-based learning opportunity. Includes a recording of the panel and slides.
Several Notre Dame faculty members share short talks (four to six minutes long) detailing various teaching strategies they have employed, including work in assessment and learning analytics.
