The Center for Teaching and Learning offers Faculty Learning Communities each Academic Year. Participating in an FLC requires a commitment to meet together several times (about every 2-3 weeks) over the course of a semester. In most cases, FLCs work over a two-semester period. In addition to the meetings, participants will read, collaborate, and make progress on individual projects between meetings. Each participant will actively contribute as responders, facilitators, peer reviewers and experts in selected areas of teaching and learning. Faculty should consider their other professional commitments before applying.

Assessment Redesign in the Age of AI: Discipline-Specific Strategies for Authentic Learning
Generative AI (artificial intelligence) is rapidly transforming how students access, generate, and engage with information, thus challenging traditional approaches to assessment. This Faculty Learning Community (FLC) will bring together faculty from a wide range of disciplines to explore practical, evidence-informed strategies for redesigning assessments in ways that promote authentic learning, disciplinary thinking, and academic integrity in an AI-enabled world.
Through a series of hands-on workshops, collaborative discussions, and peer feedback opportunities, participants will examine the unique implications of AI within their disciplinary contexts and evaluate the effectiveness of current assessment practices. Faculty will identify areas where AI may undermine assessment validity, while also exploring opportunities to leverage AI as a tool for learning, critical thinking, and professional skill development. Participants will work to redesign at least one significant course assessment, aligning it with course outcomes, disciplinary standards, and emerging best practices for teaching and learning in the age of AI.
This FLC is designed for faculty at all levels of AI experience who are interested in rethinking assessment, preserving academic rigor, and preparing students for success in a future where AI is an integral part of professional and academic life.
Meetings will be held Wednesdays, September 2nd and 16th, October 14th and 28th, and December 2nd, from 2:00-3:15 pm.
Registration open and limited!
