Plan to join us at the October 4 noon Zoom DOLCE on encouraging interaction and negotiating teaching in the GenAI era
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
Welcome back to campus and to teaching at UC Davis! Fall is always an exciting time for the ATS instructional design team because of the new faculty and faculty ideas that we encounter at our first events of the school year.
Please register now to join us Friday October 4th at noon for our October DOLCE presentations and discussion. If you are unable to join us live on Zoom, please visit The Wheel in the subsequent week to watch the recording.
We will enjoy presentations by two DOLCE speakers.
The first is Brie Tripp, Assistant Professor of Teaching from Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior. In a talk titled “Formative Feedback increases Instructor Immediacy for Students,” Dr. Tripp will show us how she uses a straightforward formative feedback tool that allows students to feel heard in even large lecture classes every day. Tripp will explain how to create QR codes that link to a Qualtrics survey that she shares at the end of every lecture.
Secondly, Kirsten Harjes, Senior Continuing Lecturer in German and the Language Program Coordinator for German, will present on “Ideas for writing assignments in the foreign languages in the age of GoogleTranslate and ChatGPT.” Many of us have considered how new large language model tools encourage “translating” between student thoughts and intentions and their final submitted drafts. Dr. Harjes will show us how she negotiates such challenges and opportunities.
I hope you can join us for these short talks and the conversations that follow. See you on October 4th!
Dr. Andy Jones
Academic Associate Director, Academic Technology Services
Editor in Chief, The Wheel
University of California, Davis
