Video from the November 1 DOLCE on Student Engagement and Assignment Makeovers

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our DOLCE on approaches to engaging undergraduates and creative use of AI in written assessments. Faculty who attended shared comments such as “Both talks were informative. I specifically appreciate the practical strategies that the speakers shared,” and “The honest discussion from the presenters — this was fantastic!”

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our Faculty Forum on Friday, October 18th on teaching with interaction and engagement. With the help of our three invited experts, Victoria Cross (Psychology), Laci Gerhart (Evolution and Ecology), and Joël Porquet-Lupine (Computer Science), we discussed a variety of teaching practices and techniques, most of which depended upon different tools for collecting, sharing, and even harnessing our students’ enthusiasm and ideas in the classroom.

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our DOLCE on Friday, October 4, 2024.

Brie Tripp from NPB and Kirsten Harjes both did a masterful job of presenting on their student engagement and GenAI language instruction topics. I myself have resolved to watch the video of this event, despite the voice of the event’s host.
