This workshop introduces Discernment\, one of four core competencies in the AI Fluency Framework\, as a structured way to evaluate AI-generated content across three dimensions: factual accuracy\, quality of reasoning\, and framing. Participants will practice applying this lens to real examples\, moving beyond simple fact-checking to identify subtler errors in logic and perspective. \nThis session can be applied toward Competency 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nFacilitator: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

Drawing on four years of experience adapting courses in the age of AI\, Dr. Ludwig will discuss changes to course materials\, assessment practices\, and standards-based grading\, while reflecting on lessons learned along the way. Although rooted in mathematics\, the conversation will address questions relevant to educators across disciplines as they navigate the evolving relationship between teaching\, learning\, and artificial intelligence. \nHow to Join\nZoom Link\nMeeting ID: 976 6333 8352\nPasscode: PROOF \nQuestions/Support\nPlease contact the host of this event\, Dr. Sheila Tabanli\, with any questions: st867@math.rutgers.edu URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/there-and-back-again-teaching-mathematics-differently-in-the-age-of-ai/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Discussion ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sites.rutgers.edu/itiip/wp-content/uploads/sites/1243/2026/10/PROOF-Nov-16-Virtual-Talk-Ludwig2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261117T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261117T160000 DTSTAMP:20261109T015146 CREATED:20260925T151218Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260925T151218Z UID:6239-1794927600-1794931200@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Navigating the Blank Search Box: Not All Generative AI is Doing the Same Job DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by the Rutgers University Libraries: \nType the same question in a library database with AI search built in and in ChatGPT\, and you’ll often get very different answers\, not because one is “better\,” but because they’re built to find different things. This workshop looks at what’s shaping the results you see when you use generative AI for research: what gets included\, what gets left out\, and why that can change depending on which tool you’re using. It’s a practical look at reading your search results with a more critical eye\, with room for questions and discussion along the way. \nThis session can be applied toward Competency 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nFacilitator: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.
