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)
