SUMMARY:GenAI Works in Progress - Generative AI in Action: Scaffolded Approaches in Health Sciences and STEM
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Victoria Sheldon\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Generative AI Pedagogies\, Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation (CTSI) Panelists: Michelle Arnot\, Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Associate Chair\, Undergraduate Education\, Pharmacology and Toxicology Robert Bentley\, Assistant Professor\, Cardiovascular Physiology\, Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education Nohjin Kee\, Associate Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Department of Physiology  \nJoin us for an engaging panel discussion as part of our “Generative AI Works in Progress” series\, showcasing innovative applications of generative AI in teaching and learning. This session will feature three U of T instructors from the Health Sciences and STEM disciplines who have successfully integrated generative AI into their curricula using scaffolded approaches. These methods not only support student engagement but also encourage students to critically evaluate AI generated content\, fostering a deeper understanding of the implications and ethical considerations of using AI in their respective fields. Using an intentional design that foregrounds iterative learning and future-focused skill development\, students become adaptive learners\, capable of refining their skills and knowledge through continuous feedback and practice. Each instructor in today’s roundtable demonstrates the value of centering the process of learning over the product\, enabling students to develop skills in critical thinking\, attribution\, and analysis. \nLearning Outcomes: By the end of this panel\, participants will be able to: 1. Identify effective scaffolded approaches for integrating Generative AI into Health Sciences and STEM education. 2. Understand the importance of critical thinking and ethical considerations when using generative AI in teaching. 3. Apply strategies to help students develop competencies and comfort with generative AI as iterative learners. 4. Gain insights from real-world examples and experiences shared by the panelists.  The GenAI Works in Progress Series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/)  (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/)This is a CTSI/DLI programming effort designed to encourage an ongoing\, open institutional-level conversation about generative AI in teaching and learning and to create a space for experimentation\, sharing and problem-solving. These one-hour presentations will be targeted towards a broad teaching and learning audience where presenters can share current questions\, ideas\, inquiries or works in progress with a community of peers. Understanding that many of us are still in the early stages of navigating the realm of generative AI\, we want to emphasize that these sessions are not intended to showcase definitive answers or practices\, rather we are interested in the questions\, challenges and learning currently being explored

SUMMARY:ACUE Lunch and Learn: Active learning - use of machine learning/process simulation in-class
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Daniela Galatro; Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream. Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry\, FASEThis session describes the workflow of mapping the ACUE modules with my research and teaching interests in incorporating machine learning and process simulation in class through my course reflections. This mapping process is followed by the design and implementation of examples illustrating the use of different learning and process simulations in class while merging with the traditional first principles. These active learning sessions vary from data-based modeling in core chemical engineering courses to simulation-based learning in optional engineering courses in different undergraduate years and are fully integrated with several subjects and tools covered in the ACUE modules that help students to enhance their learning experience. Some preliminary results on assessing the effectiveness of these initiatives are also discussed.This session will include my intentional approach to course design\, learning activities\, and alignment with learning outcomes drawn from the ACUE course in Effective Teaching Practices.

SUMMARY:Demystifying the Dossier: Preparing the Teaching Dossier
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:Cora McCloy\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL\, CTSISamantha Chang\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Teaching\, Learning & Technology\, CTSIThis webinar is part of the Demystifying the Dossier Series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/demystifying-the-dossier/). Faculty are welcome to attend one or multiple workshops in the series; recordings will be available for all sessions online (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/past-ctsi-workshop-recordings/).At the University of Toronto\, a teaching dossier must be submitted as part of the formal review process for tenure and continuing status. Beyond the information included in an academic CV\, a teaching dossier describes and documents an instructor’s teaching expertise\, goals and priorities for teaching and learning\, contributions to course and curriculum design efforts\, evidence of student impact\, and evidence of teaching leadership.This session focuses on an overview of the content and overall structure of an effective teaching dossier. Participants will develop a plan for assembling and strengthening their own dossiers. They will be guided in how to use a narrative throughout their dossier to connect and create coherence between multiple sections and sources of evidence. Participants will also have an opportunity to engage with their divisional guidelines to draft key headings for their dossier. Participants in this workshop will: • Engage with your own Divisional Guidelines on Teaching Effectiveness to map out key criteria • Identify the key elements of your dossier and artifacts for inclusion • Assess alignment between your teaching claims and evidence\, and identify effective ways to frame evidence • Plan steps for editing your developing narrative and preparing your final document The goal is for participants to leave the session with a clear sense of what steps to take to enhance their dossier drafts. Participants will be provided a digital workbook prior to the webinar and this document will form the basis of the session activities. Please note that this webinar will focus on the preparation of a teaching dossier by appointed faculty members for the purposes of undergoing a review process (tenure or continuing status). Teaching dossiers prepared for job searches carry different expectations and will not be the focus of this session. *** Optional pre-webinar work ***Consider reviewing the following CTSI asynchronous resources regarding Identifying and Articulating Teaching Success:• 7 Steps to Identifying and Articulating Teaching Success and Introduction to Educational Leadership Video (https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/:v:/s/ctsi-PublicFiles/EUZUqtSl1sJGunfXVyE7oLAB94VlXubs5nrx1eTO3NUwWw?e=yYXpmo) (26:34)• 7 Steps to Identifying and Articulating Teaching Success and Introduction to Educational Leadership Slide Deck PDF (https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/ctsi-PublicFiles/EUsrG1lBSRlLrJ4alU32xR8BinYL4iGoW1e7GGF6PjLJDA)• Demystifying the Dossier Workbook PDF (https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/sites/ctsi-PublicFiles/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2Fctsi-PublicFiles%2FShared+Documents%2FCTSI+Workshops%2FCTSI+Dossier+Series%2FWorkbook_Identifying+and+Articulating+Teaching+Success.pdf&parent=%2Fsites%2Fctsi-PublicFiles%2FShared+Documents%2FCTSI+Workshops%2FCTSI+Dossier+Series&p=true&ct=1705501282391&or=OWA-NT&cid=58257e8b-753d-7f0f-4dfc-738a646dfc1a&ga=1)

SUMMARY:Navigating Research Ethics and SoTL
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:    Jayne Baker\, Associate Professor\, Teaching Stream & Associate Chair\, Academic Sociology\, and Chair of the Social Sciences\, Humanities and Education Research Ethics Board  Cora McCloy\, PhD\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, SoTL\, CTSI   The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) allows educators to systematically examine their teaching\, preventing what Shulman (1999) described as “pedagogical amnesia\,”—the tendency to forget valuable insights about our teaching from one term to the next. By engaging in SoTL\, instructors can capture and revisit their teaching experiences\, fostering continuous improvement.  This interactive session\, Part IV of the 2024-2025 SoTL Series\, will focus on research ethics processes and planning at U of T. This session will emphasize that the ethics process itself can serve as a valuable tool for kick-starting one’s research and to develop a clear protocol that will serve for all research stages moving forward.  By the end of this webinar\, you will:     • Gain an overall awareness of key research ethics and SoTL considerations at U of T • Explore the concept of classrooms as sites to conduct scholarly enquiry on your teaching     • Identify whether your inquiry is research or reflective practice     • Gain insights on how to protect students as research participants  • Discuss the importance of negotiating and acknowledging our dual roles as Instructor-Researcher • Participate in building a community of teaching and learning researchers at U of T  • Learn about the upcoming CTSI-SoTL programming and other supportsFaculty of varying SoTL experience levels are welcome. The last 30 minutes of the session will be devoted to Q & A. Those who are available only for the first 90 minutes are welcome to attend. Please email cora.mccloy@utoronto.ca (mailto:%20cora.mccloy@utoronto.ca) with any questions about this webinar. *NOTE: In advance of this webinar\, you might consider reviewing research on teaching general topic areas by accessing the October 17th (https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/ctsi-ea/ERyKXaQTmkNLmJPoxfW5yHgBt4cBGDpni36VMVbR0fNlMA?e=hBobex) webinar: Introduction to SoTL: From Curiosity to a Research Question.

Larson\, Vice-Dean Teaching\, Learning\, and Undergraduate Programs\, UTSCThe UTSC Campus Curriculum Review was launched in 2020 as a named priority of the campus’s current strategic plan\, Inspiring Inclusive Excellence (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/strategicplan/)\, and as a part of a broader framework of curricular innovation and renewal. The review’s focus is on Indigenous knowledges and knowledge systems\, Black knowledges\, racialized perspectives\, and international and intercultural perspectives\, while also taking an intersectional approach. The process has been collectively led by a Working Circle made up of students\, faculty\, librarians\, staff and community members. The Working Circle’s report (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/curriculum-review/) was released in the spring of 2022 with 56 recommended actions. This session will introduce participants to the review in the context of its ongoing implementation\, assessing its impact three years on. It will also explore the circle-based process that the Working Circle has followed as an example of the structural change towards which the curriculum review aspires and as a space that centres listening\, learning\, and dialogue across difference.

SUMMARY:ACUE Lunch and Learn: Collaborative Group Work: the pragmatic use of Group Learning Contracts to ensure accountability and encourage positive dynamics
DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Danielle Bentley; Assistant Professor\, Teaching Stream\, Division of Anatomy\, Temerty Faculty of MedicineThis session describes the use of collaborative group work for both in-class review assignments and two-stage collaborative testing. Imperative to the discussion is the design and implementation of Group Learning Contracts\, and the iterative process of revisiting these throughout the semester to ensure accountability\, encourage respect\, open communication and conflict resolution.There are several talking points extracted from the ACUE modules\, the majority of which align with the Active Learning ACUE modules.This session will include my operational approach to group allocation\, the creation of a Group Learning Contract template in Quercus for group members to simultaneously edit\, and integration of the contract into in-class activities. The session will conclude with direct feedback from the students illuminating their experiences.Instructors from all disciplines interested in integrating effective group work within their teaching will gain insights to build or enhance their approaches in this area.Part of CTSI’s ACUE Lunch and Learn series (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/acue-lunch-and-learn/)
