Join us on Friday for talks about ChatGPT and Teaching with Kindness
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
As AI continues to be in the news, and as our town and campus community grieve recent tragic losses, we hope you will join us for discussions about how both of these contexts might impact our teaching.
At our DOLCE (Discussion Online Teaching and Collaborative Education) event this Friday, May 5th, at 12pm on Zoom, we will be joined by two faculty guests.
Marit MacArthur, the Associate Director for Writing Across the Curriculum and a lecturer in the University Writing Program, will share her perspective and ideas on ChatGPT in her writing classes. She gave an excellent presentation on this topic in February at a UWP faculty workshop, and we are grateful that she has agreed to revisit these concerns and opportunities with our DOLCE audience.
Our second faculty guest is Katharine Burnett. In 2021, I had the pleasure of interviewing Katharine for SITT 2021. During our conversation Dr. Burnett discussed the deep and mutual teaching and learning benefits of exploring kindness as a teaching tool in UC Davis Art History classes. At this difficult time for all of us, we are grateful that Professor Burnett can revisit this meaningful topic with us on Friday.
Katharine Burnett, PhD., is Professor of Art History and Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at UC Davis. She also is founder and director of the Global Tea Institute for the Study of Tea Culture and Science (GTI).
Please register now so you can join us Friday at noon for presentations and discussions. This event will be recorded.
See you Friday!
Dr. Andy Jones
Academic Associate Director, Academic Technology Services

P. S. We invite you to attend and present at SITT 2023 on Sept 14th and 15th!
