Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nAccessibility’s hardest problems live wherever a field has its own visual or symbolic language — equations\, flow charts\, syntax trees\, structural formulas\, supply-demand curves\, choropleth maps\, IPA transcription\, music notation — and other notation and diagrams that experts read differently than they’d ever say aloud\, locked inside images and invisible to assistive technology. These are the materials that take longest to make accessible\, across every school and discipline\, and they’re the ones the April 2027 deadline will reach last. This session uses AI to address exactly those cases\, drawing examples from across the humanities\, social sciences\, and natural sciences alongside STEM: converting equation images\, structural formulas\, and syntax trees into accessible\, screen-reader-renderable notation in Canvas; generating narrated walkthroughs of flow charts\, process diagrams\, and decision trees; and producing audio descriptions of technical and disciplinary figures. Live screen-reader demonstrations show the difference between an accessible figure and an inaccessible one\, and the 30-minute work session lets you apply the workflow to a piece of your own content\, from any discipline. \nThis session fulfills Competencies 1\, 3\, and 4 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nWhat to bring: A unit\, equation set\, or technical figure from your own course. \nREGISTER \nQuestions about the Teaching with GenAI Faculty Workshop Series?

How do your explanations guide students rather than just “telling them” the answers? This session introduces an evidence-based framework outlining the steps and features for facilitating productive teacher-student instructional dialogue in STEM but will invite all to consider what effective instructional dialogues look like in other disciplines. \nOur ability to guide students’ construction of knowledge through instructional explanations is especially important in the age of GenAI\, because when learners don’t “get it” in our classes\, they may turn to GenAI for explanations\, which may lead to inaccuracies\, passive learning\, and dependency (if not used productively). Session participants will have a chance to explore and consider both possibilities and pitfalls of students accessing GenAI for instructional explanations. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/learning-happens-in-dialogue-instructional-prompts-and-implications-for-generative-ai/ LOCATION:202 ABC in the Livingston Student Center (Livingston)\, 84 Joyce Kilmer Ave\, Piscataway\, NJ\, 08854\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261208T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261208T140000 DTSTAMP:20260915T074708 CREATED:20260827T200114Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260827T200114Z UID:6001-1796734800-1796738400@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:SoTL Community of Practice Session DESCRIPTION:Overview\nDriven by curiosity and collaboration\, TIIP’s SoTL Community of Practice offers a welcoming space for instructors to exchange ideas\, reflect on classroom practices\, and explore evidence-based teaching strategies. \nWhether you’re looking to spark new ideas\, discuss pedagogical research\, or connect with peers across disciplines\, this community provides a supportive environment to recharge your teaching and elevate the student experience. \nHow to Attend\nAlready a registered member of this community? You will receive calendar invitations for all fall SoTL community sessions. \nInterested in joining as a new member? Complete our new member registration form to be added to fall sessions.

Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nYour students are taking your class\, not a generic\, average internet class. Context engineering is the practice of putting your own values\, course materials\, and academic standards at the center of what an AI responds with — instead of letting the open web fill in the answer. One-line prompting tricks are giving way to this more deliberate approach: anchoring AI output in the specific sources you choose. Using NotebookLM and comparable tools\, you’ll practice grounding AI directly in your own syllabus and readings\, and see why a well-fed model behaves very differently from an unanchored chatbot. The session closes by flipping the lens — context engineering is a student skill\, too — and you’ll design an assignment component that asks students to curate and document the sources they feed to AI.

Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nTake a static course document — a PDF reading\, a worksheet\, a lecture handout — and use AI to turn it into something interactive: choose-your-own-path scenarios\, self-checking practice\, scaffolded assignment sequences that drop into Canvas. The session explores several techniques side by side so you can choose the right one for the content at hand: vibe coding for HTML-based interactives that drop into Canvas\, NotebookLM for queryable knowledge bases built from your readings\, and direct AI-generated activities you assemble inside Canvas itself. Because redesigning an assignment always raises the policy question\, we’ll also work through what AI use you’ll permit and what evidence of process you’ll ask students for. The 30-minute work session is for converting one of your own documents. \nThis session fulfills Competencies 2\, 3\, and 4 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nWhat to bring: One static course document you’d like to convert. \nREGISTER \nQuestions about the Teaching with GenAI Faculty Workshop Series?

Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nAI is in the room when you grade now\, whether you invited it or not. This capstone session redesigns the assessment layer of a course assignment from both directions. First\, you’ll design a rubric that rewards the things AI can’t hand a student — process\, judgment\, content area thinking. Then you’ll put AI to work generating draft formative feedback against that rubric\, with you as editor and final voice. The session takes the AI-use policy question head-on as a design decision built into the rubric itself: faculty can absolutely say “no AI\,” or “this tool only\, used this way\,” and we’ll cover how to state either clearly\, what evidence of process to ask for under each\, and what the data students generate with these tools actually looks like. The 30-minute work session lets you redesign a rubric for one of your own assignments. \nThis session fulfills Competencies 2\, 3\, and 4 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nWhat to bring: One assignment with its current rubric (or grading approach). \nREGISTER \nQuestions about the Teaching with GenAI Faculty Workshop Series?
