UC Davis Faculty speakers and faculty attendees are eager to discuss elements of this year’s theme—Digital Divisions, Digital Multiplications.

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our Faculty Forum on Friday, May 17th. As you will see from the video, our cozy group discussed topics that might come up at the 2024 Summer Institute on Teaching and Technology, including detecting plagiarism, teaching with AI, hybrid teaching, etc. The chat provided an excellent reminder of the sense of camaraderie, community, and mutual support which infuses SITT with optimism and good cheer.

Dear Faculty Colleagues, 

Thanks to everyone who attended our Faculty Forum on Friday, April 19th. Are we all increasingly becoming AI experts? Or are we all ready to throw up our hands in a fit of overwhelm and discouragement? Well I think the recording of our recent conversation will provide you some encouraging pathways to navigating the joys and challenges of teaching college students in our AI era.

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our DOLCE on Friday, April 5th. We enjoyed the engaging presentation from Victoria Cross speaking on “Encouraging and rewarding attendance and engagement without coercion.” Tor grades using a fascinating point-based system where a superfluity of available points provides students the autonomy to create their own path towards a passing grade in her Psychology classes.
