Pedagogy Matters

The Center for Teaching and Learning is pleased to announce the next offering in our Pedagogy Matters workshop series. These workshops support faculty from the pedagogical perspective in developing, designing, deploying, and utilizing technology in their courses.

Pedagogy Matters Workshop

The workshops focus on building and strengthening the pedagogical infrastructure of courses, no matter the format. The Center for Teaching and Learning will be offering virtual Pedagogy Matters workshops in the Fall 2025 semester:

Pedagogy Matters 1 – AI and Higher Ed

When: Thursday, September 11, 2025 | 2:30-3:30

Where: Drinko Library 349, and online via Teams

Registration: Required to receive the Teams link

Join us for a lively one-hour workshop designed to lay out what’s going on with AI and Higher Ed right now. We’ll take a peek into the cool, somewhat terrifying tech and how it can be used right now to “help” students do homework, take exams and write papers (aka do the work for them), as well as the many difficulties in detecting this “help.”  We’ll also look at some of the new ways educators are reorganizing their syllabi, rethinking their assignments, and reconsidering what knowledge and skills they want their students to know in the face of this very powerful, quickly evolving technology.

Pedagogy Matters 2 – Title TBA

When: Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | 12:00-1:00

Where: TBD

Join our one-hour workshop on designing course assignments that effectively incorporate or circumvent AI capabilities. This session will guide you in creating assignments that maintain academic integrity while leveraging AI’s strengths. We’ll explore strategies for crafting tasks that promote critical thinking, creativity, and original work, as well as cover tricks to use AI as a helpful sidekick. Through practical examples and discussions, you’ll leave ready to create engaging assignments and ensure educational objectives are met in an AI-driven world.
