The intent of the series is to engage the entire Rutgers community on timely topics in higher education\, focusing on a different theme each year. The theme for the 2025–2026 academic year is Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education. \nThe emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in scholarly communications and many aspects of higher education has raised questions about whether it should be used\, its environmental impact\, and its potential to discourage problem solving and creativity. The reality is that it’s here to stay\, and what’s needed is proactive consideration of both potential benefits and ways to mitigate disruption. \nThe first event of this series will focus on the role of AI in teaching and learning at Rutgers. It will be held on November 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Teleconference Lecture Hall on the fourth floor of Alexander Library. Breakfast\, lunch\, and afternoon refreshments will be provided. \nA recording of the event will be posted on the Rutgers University Libraries website at a later date. \nView the agenda URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/ai-in-teaching-and-learning-at-rutgers-a-new-chapter-in-higher-education/ LOCATION:Alexander Library Teleconference/Lecture Hall – TLH (4th floor) CATEGORIES:Conference,Symposium END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251110T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251110T150000 DTSTAMP:20260405T052710 CREATED:20250915T210507Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250915T210507Z UID:3340-1762783200-1762786800@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Teaching & Learning Community for Graduate Students and Postdocs DESCRIPTION:The Teaching & Learning Community for Graduate Students and Postdocs is a monthly Zoom-based gathering space where graduate students\, postdocs\, faculty\, and staff engage in conversations about teaching and learning in higher education.

Explore the possibilities of GenAI to scaffold existing assignments\, emphasizing the thinking process over a single final answer (product). The benefit of process-oriented assignments is that they foster students’ critical thinking and support the use of AI as a learning partner rather than as a tool to complete their assignments. \nThis session can be used towards Competencies 1 and 4 of the Teaching & Generative AI Pathways. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/scaffolding-assignment-with-genai/ CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251114T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251114T133000 DTSTAMP:20260405T052710 CREATED:20250820T194105Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250820T194105Z UID:3240-1763121600-1763127000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Creating Accessible Content [Grad/Postdoc Workshop] DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Amina Khan\, Instructional Designer\, UOES  \nThis workshop\, facilitated by University Online Education Services\, is designed to explore how to design courses and materials that are accessible to all students.
