The first Teaching Circle meetings will begin in late January, 2023. Check back here for scheduling updates!Read more about our Teaching Circles and fill out our Spring 2023 Interest Form by January 20.What's a Teaching Circle?Teaching Circles serve as a space where faculty can gather to share experiences and discuss what's happening in their classrooms. These recurring, casual meetings are coordinated and facilitated by CNDLS, yet oriented around topics of faculty interest.These circles incorporate the substantive engagement and peer mentorship of a faculty learning community (FLC)—an entirely faculty-arranged and driven model of development—while allowing CNDLS staff to offer resources and guide conversation. Teaching Circles draw on faculty expertise, while relieving faculty of the need to initiate, coordinate, and drive the meetings. Teaching circles are inherently interdisciplinary, creating cross-campus community and intellectual pollination.Because each teaching circle group is autonomous, the meeting schedules are determined by your availability—fill out our registration/interest form to receive more information about scheduling.

Far more than a merely logistical document, the syllabus is often an instructor's opening move in their efforts to build a relationship with and shape students' learning experience. It is also the concrete public artifact that makes an instructor's course design visible. In this workshop we will cover the fundamental components and best practices of good syllabus design through discussion and a hands-on opportunity to practice “backwards design.”This workshop is being offered as part of the Apprenticeship in Teaching Program, designed for graduate students.

Event OverviewThe Main Campus Executive Faculty (MCEF) and CNDLS-hosted forum focused on artificial intelligence tools and their role in higher education. Georgetown faculty across departments shared how they’re engaging with artificial intelligence tools like Chat GPT in their courses, as well as how such tools are currently used in their disciplines. Two student representatives also offered their perspectives on how students are—or aren’t—using Chat GPT.Panelists included: Andrew Zeitlin (McCourt School of Public Policy), Susanna Lee (French), Nick Lovegrove (McDonough School of Business), and Nathan Schneider (Linguistics and Computer Science) offered their faculty experiences, while Camber Vincent (GUSA President and SFS Class of 2024) and Eric Saldanha (GradGov Senator) spoke to the student perspective.To hear more details on this robust discussion, view the recording of the forum below. Our panelists shared examples of assignment alterations, how faculty are communicating with students, what students use Chat GPT for in classes, and more about how Chat GPT serves as a catalyst for our consideration of AI in higher education.Watch the Forum Key TakeawaysBefore hearing from faculty, CNDLS' Executive Director, Eddie Maloney, shared the following framework for thinking about Chat GPT’s possibilities in course design:Regulate: Be clear with your students about when the use of tools like Chat GPT are allowed, and when they’re infringing on academic integrity. (See sample syllabus statements below.)Adapt: Create assignments/activities that avoid responses that are currently answerable by AI tools such as Chat GPT.Integrate: Incorporate AI tools into your pedagogy, taking advantage of its affordances to your course’s dynamic.Reimagine: We may need to rethink what it means to create and communicate across the board.We asked the panelists: “How does Chat GPT work in conversation with assignment design, learning objectives, and academic integrity?” Some key takeaways included:Building fundamental knowledge and skills remains important, as is teaching students how to both generate and evaluate academic work. Thus, consider exploring ways to integrate Chat GPT into your teaching as a tool to leverage these fundamental skills.There's an opportunity to view AI tools as core components of effective work practices after college—teaching students to do the core functions of their jobs more effectively is an asset.Chat GPT, and other tools like it, aren’t foolproof. They make errors and aren’t trustworthy to create full replacements of student work. Notably, students at Georgetown aren’t using them that way.''ResourcesChat GPT and Artificial Intelligence Tools, CNDLSMCEF-CNDLS Forum on ChatGPT and AI Tools slidesMaloney, Eddie. (2023).

Event Overview CNDLS hosted an online workshop on Thursday, April 20, 2023 to support faculty as they close out the spring semester and plan for future ones. Faculty and CNDLS staff shared ideas and approaches for adapting or integrating AI into your assignments and final exams. We discussed understanding what current AI technologies are able to do, redesigning existing assignments and exams to respond to potential uses of AI by students, and using AI to enhance and augment existing assignments. Highlights included setting expectations, adapting and integrating to AI, exploring faculty examples, handling concerns, and locating resources. Example assignments from Biology, English, Writing, and Philosophy were discussed. Some key takeaways may sound familiar, such as:Be transparent with your students;Articulate your expectations around the use of generative AI;Consider ways to design your assignments well in advance to encourage higher-order thinking.You can check out the slide deck here or view the video of the presentation below.
