This session moves past the familiar to navigate alternative AI models and specialized tools that can influence your teaching and research. We’ll demystify concepts like Large Language Models (LLMs) and emerging “OMNI” models\, exploring how different platforms—like Google’s Gemini\, Anthropic’s Claude\, and even local AI models—can be leveraged for advanced research\, video summarization\, and handwriting recognition. Additionally\, we’ll look at the next generation of AI assistants and agents. The session will also dive into the critical benefits and pitfalls of AI in accessibility\, from text-to-speech that enables differentiated learning paths to the nuances of voice recognition. Discover how this new suite of technologies can foster integrative learning and help students make novel connections across the curriculum. Finally\, we’ll address the challenge of how to adapt your course policies for a world with a diverse range of AI tools. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/beyond-chatgpt-navigating-alternative-models/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Learning Community END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260306T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260306T130000 DTSTAMP:20260429T111413 CREATED:20260122T191846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260122T191846Z UID:3828-1772798400-1772802000@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Assessment: Why and How to Use Gradescope DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:   \n\nKaren Harris\, Senior Instructional Designer \nHanna Kim\, Senior Instructional Designer \nKevin Burkitt\, Instructional Technologist \n\nThis workshop is an introduction to Gradescope\, a grading tool that integrates in Canvas and can help you grade exams and assignments more efficiently and with more consistency across students and graders. It supports rubrics\, facilitates feedback\, and generates statistics\, all within any course modality.  \nThis session is open to the Rutgers community and counts toward the Teaching with Technology certificate program for graduate students and postdocs.  \nAudience: Administrative staff\, lecturers\, teaching faculty (NTT)\, tenure-line faculty\, graduate students and/or postdocs (register through the link below or under “Website” at the bottom of this page)  \nREGISTER  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/assessment-why-and-how-to-use-gradescope/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260309T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260309T163000 DTSTAMP:20260429T111413 CREATED:20260209T174232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260209T174232Z UID:3908-1773068400-1773073800@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Innovative Practices for Large Courses: A Community - Writing Your Teaching Philosophy Statement DESCRIPTION:This gathering is an opportunity for guidelines and individual help with a teaching philosophy statement\, often a critical piece of a promotion packet. New to this community? Email TIIP at TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu to join the community and receive more details.  \nAudience: Administrative staff\, lecturers\, teaching faculty (NTT)\, tenure-line faculty  \n  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/innovative-practices-for-large-courses-a-community-writing-your-teaching-philosophy-statement/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="Institute for Teaching%2C Innovation%2C &%3B Inclusive Pedagogy":MAILTO:TeachingInstitute@rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260313T103000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260313T113000 DTSTAMP:20260429T111413 CREATED:20251209T222742Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T222742Z UID:3612-1773397800-1773401400@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Teaching and GenAI Explorations: Research DESCRIPTION:Generative AI tools are increasingly acting as “research assistants\,” helping students brainstorm topics\, locate sources\, summarize complex texts\, and plan projects. In this one-hour virtual session\, we’ll explore several AI research assistants (e.g.\, Consensus) and examine what they do well (and where they fall short). You will test a few tools hands-on and discuss how to guide students in using them ethically and effectively. A Rutgers librarian will join us to offer insights on integrating AI tools alongside traditional research methods. You’ll leave with practical ideas for assignments and classroom strategies that build students’ research skills while making thoughtful use of AI.  \nThis session fulfills Competency 1 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program.  \nREGISTER NOW.
