Work alongside us as we use prompting to assist in course design preparation (by creating course goals\, defining module-level learning objectives\, draft assessments and create rubrics). This is to be followed by the use of prompting to generate active learning activities\, instructional aids for practices and assessments\, lesson plans and more. We will be examining available resources to review existing worked-through exemplars for strengths and possibilities for improvement. \nThis session fulfills Competency 1 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/prompting-cookbook/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Learning Community END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260402T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260402T113000 DTSTAMP:20260414T053111 CREATED:20251209T223156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T223156Z UID:3614-1775125800-1775129400@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Supporting Neurodivergent Learners in the Classroom DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 1-hour virtual workshop on supporting neurodivergent students in higher education.
