Digital Literacy Café Webinars

In our six sessions this year, higher education innovators will showcase how they’re supporting student success by integrating generative AI into courses across the curriculum. Find out how they’re designing and assessing assignments, enhancing visual communication skills, connecting generative AI skills with learning outcomes, and more to help all students graduate as critical, ethical, and agile users of emerging technologies.

Driving Student Engagement with Generative AI

Designing and Assessing Student Projects that Integrate Generative AI

Wednesday, September 25, 2024

8am PT | 10am CT | 11am ET | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET

Our students are eager to learn to use generative AI and incorporate it into their work, and we are, too. But how can we integrate this technology into our coursework in ways that support our desired learning outcomes? In this session, faculty from four different disciplines will lead us in an interactive conversation about what their students are doing in the classroom with generative AI. They'll share class activities that have engaged students and helped build skills like critical thinking, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. And they'll tell us about the challenges they've encountered and the successes they've achieved.

  • Our speakers will share:

    • How they created assessment strategies and rubrics to support their teaching goals
    • Practical insights on achieving the right learning outcomes
    • Instructional materials and student work samples to inspire your own innovations with assignments and assessment
  • Dr. Todd Taylor Dr. Shauna Chung Dr. Matthew Trevet-Smith Dr. Pegah Khosravi Dr. Asim Ali Dr. Chris Stuart
Driving Student Engagement with Generative AI

Exploring In-class Exercises and Lesson Plans that Integrate Generative AI

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

8am PT | 10am CT | 11am ET | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET

To ensure that our students become critical, ethical, and agile users of generative AI, we need to integrate it into courses in every discipline. In this session, four faculty members will share a dozen successful classroom exercises and lesson plans that engage students and help build transferable skills like creativity and collaboration.

  • Our speakers will share:

    • Practical day-to-day approaches to integrating generative AI in ways that promote student learning outcomes
    • Pedagogical principles behind the lesson plans and exercise
  • Dr. Todd Taylor Dr. Shauna Chung Dr. Wanda White-Walker Dr. Matthew Acevedo Dr. Farah Bennani Dr. Daniel Frank

One Year Later: Exploring New Policies and Guidelines for Integrating Generative AI Across the Curriculum

At the start of the 2023-2024 school year, thought leaders from four campuses visited the Adobe Digital Literacy Café to share how they established initial guidelines around the use of generative AI in academics. One year later, three schools have gathered and shared how they have evolved their approaches to responsibly integrating the technology across the curriculum — as well as one EDUCAUSE researcher who recently coauthored a report on AI integration in the education sector.
