SUMMARY:Culturally Responsive Active Learning: From Exploration to Application
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Maher Elshakankiri\, Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream and Director\, Bachelor of Information (BI) Program\, Faculty of Information Building socio-intercultural inclusion into active learning can strengthen both engagement and rigour\, especially when students are guided from lived experience into disciplinary thinking. This session presents an ACUE-informed approach to designing inclusive in-class activities that begin with culturally grounded exploration and move through a structured learning cycle toward analysis\, creation\, and assessment-ready outcomes. A brief case example from an introductory programming course will illustrate how a simple\, familiar activity can surface diverse perspectives and support students in translating them into formal disciplinary work such as rules\, models\, arguments\, or design artifacts. The session emphasizes a transferable design pattern grounded in ACUE practices: moving from exploration to formalization to application\, clarifying expectations through transparent criteria\, and using structured peer feedback to strengthen learning and equity. Common implementation challenges in diverse classrooms will be addressed\, including group dynamics\, participation norms\, and communication norms and constraints. The approach is framed for cross-disciplinary adaptation across teaching contexts\, class sizes\, and modalities. Participants will leave with adaptable prompts\, a peer-feedback checklist\, an implementation checklist for clarity and inclusion\, and a curated set of ACUE-aligned resources to support sustained use and evaluation. Our faculty facilitators in this lunch series have completed 25 modules and earned the Certificate in Effective University Instruction offered by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) in partnership with CTSI. Learn more about the ACUE Lunch and Learn Series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/).    Series Description: Join U of T faculty graduates of the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) Effective Teaching Practices course (ACUE-Certified Faculty) as they share insights from the 25 modules they completed over several months. They implemented\, reimagined\, and extended evidence-based teaching practices to support their teaching\, learning and student success at U of T. This Series invites participants to hear from these instructors: their reflections upon what they have learned\, and practical examples and tips informed by evidence-based strategies. Facilitators will engage in discussions on sharing these approaches into one’s current practice.

SUMMARY:Getting started with Generative AI Tools at U of T
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive virtual drop-in session designed for University of Toronto instructors and staff. We will provide an overview of the approved generative AI tools at the University and give demonstrations which will provide you with the opportunity to get hands-on experience with the suite of approved tools.Focus:
Our primary goal is to familiarize you with how to access and use generative AI tools in a secure and responsible manner. We’ll guide you through logging in with privacy protections in place and compare the differences between the various technologies.What to Expect:• A comparison of the various approved generative AI tools at the University of Toronto.• A walkthrough of the secure login process for accessing U of T–approved generative AI tools.• Live demonstrations of key features across various generative AI platforms.• Open Q&A to address your questions\, concerns\, or ideas.Drop in anytime between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM—stay for a few minutes or the full session!Don’t miss this chance to explore how approved generative AI tools can support your day-to-day work and enrich your teaching and research. We look forward to helping you confidently engage with these innovative tools.
