In this one-hour virtual session\, we’ll explore a range of educational chatbots\, including tools like BoodleBox and PlayLab\, and examine how they can support inquiry\, metacognition\, and active learning. You will try out several chatbot features\, compare their strengths and limitations\, and consider how to integrate them into class activities\, discussions\, and assignments. We’ll also highlight practical strategies for guiding students’ use of chatbots responsibly and transparently.  \nThis session fulfills Competency 1 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nREGISTER NOW.

This thoughtful and practical book helps educators\, especially those newer to teaching\, make sense of common classroom challenges related to inequity\, disconnection\, distrust\, failure\, and fear. Together\, we will explore how these issues show up in real teaching contexts and how instructors can respond with clarity\, compassion\, and confidence. Each 1-hour session offers a welcoming space to share experiences\, reflect on the book’s insights\, and build a supportive network as you begin or continue your teaching journey.  \nREGISTER NOW.

This summer\, join us to read and discuss The Science of Learning Meets AI\, a practical guide for faculty who want to use AI in ways that actually support student learning. Using a three-stage progression model\, Ludwig and Zakrajsek connect AI integration to familiar frameworks like UDL\, Backward Design\, TILT\, and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Whether you’re skeptical\, curious\, or somewhere in between\, this book meets you where you are. Each 1-hour session will draw on the reflection prompts and discussion activities built into each chapter\, so come ready to think alongside colleagues from across disciplines.   \nVirtual sessions will be held on the following Tuesdays\, from 10 – 11 am: \n\nJuly 7\nJuly 14\nJuly 21\n\nA limited number of books will be provided; please register only if you can attend all three sessions.  \nThis session fulfills the Foundational Knowledge Pathway of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nAudience: Open to all Rutgers New Brunswick Instructors and Administrative support staff.  \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/summer-genai-virtual-book-group-the-science-of-learning-meets-ai/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Book Club ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260714T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260714T110000 DTSTAMP:20260501T184950 CREATED:20260501T175029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260501T175420Z UID:4850-1784023200-1784026800@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Summer Virtual Book Group DESCRIPTION:Generative AI isn’t going away\, but the question of how to use it well in teaching is still very much open.
