Body: 

As AI tools rapidly evolve, faculty across the social sciences are rethinking how to design meaningful, rigorous, and engaging assessments.

Join us for two practical sessions delivered by the Office of Teaching and Learning on designing assessments in an AI-enhanced learning environment. We will share assessment ideas from the social sciences and discuss how they could be adapted to align with your course learning outcomes. We will be joined by a faculty colleague who will showcase examples from their teaching.

Come with your questions, ideas, and curiosity. You will leave with adaptable strategies and new ways to support student success in a time of rapid technological change.


Session 1 - Wednesday January 28  |  11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

We will discuss the impact of current AI on assessment design and showcase ideas you can bring directly into your classroom assessments, whether your goal is to redesign your assessments, improve communication and expectations with your learners, or meaningfully integrate AI.

Session 2 - Thursday January 29  |  2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

We will focus on how to effectively leverage AI more broadly in your teaching and learning, making it a tool that benefits you and your students. This session will also offer opportunities for experimentation with different AI tools.
