We will examine how biases in training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes\, and you’ll learn about the significant environmental consequences of large-scale AI development. We’ll also discuss the potential impact on critical thinking skills in an age of increasing cognitive offloading. This workshop will equip you with the knowledge to critically engage with AI\, preparing you to navigate its complexities as both a student and a future professional. \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. \nInstructor: Joanne Dera (Science Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.

This fall\, join us to read and discuss The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching\, a practical resource for instructors thinking intentionally about how AI is reshaping their courses\, including a Rutgers connection: our own instructors are cited in the book. \nAcross four virtual sessions facilitated by Rutgers instructors\, we’ll work through the book together\, grounding our conversations in real teaching challenges and possibilities. \nOctober 16: Introduction–Chapter 4\nSession facilitator: Lyra Stein\, Department of Psychology \nOctober 23: Chapters 5–7\nSession facilitator: Josh Gordesky\, Department of Human Resources Management \nOctober 30: Chapters 8–11\nSession facilitator: Anna Kornienko\, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology \nNovember 6: Chapters 12–Conclusion\nSession facilitator: Douglas Cantor\, Department of Political Science \nThis session fulfills Competencies 1\, 2\, and 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. \nREGISTER \n***Backup date: Friday\, November 13 URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/book-group-the-norton-guide-to-ai-aware-teaching-4/ 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:20261106T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261106T123000 DTSTAMP:20260927T231655 CREATED:20260710T173122Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260710T174843Z UID:5132-1793962800-1793968200@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Beyond Alt Text: Making Notation\, Diagrams\, and Symbols Accessible with AI DESCRIPTION:Part of a six-session series from University Online Education Services (UOES)\, in partnership with TIIP. 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?

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.

Let us know if you’d like to share something!  \nWhether you’re just starting to think about GenAI’s impact on your classroom\, actively experimenting with new approaches\, questioning whether GenAI belongs in your teaching at all\, or somewhere in between\, this community is for you. We welcome all position titles\, roles\, and ranks\, and we welcome critical\, skeptical\, and cautious perspectives alongside curious and enthusiastic ones. You’re welcome to attend as many or as few sessions as fit your schedule and interests.  \nHow to Attend\nAlready a registered member of this community? You will receive calendar invitations for all fall GenAI community sessions. \nInterested in joining as a new member? Complete our new member registration form to be added to fall sessions.

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.

Participants will learn how to effectively harness AI tools and learn about different AI applications that can be used in conjunction with library databases. Additionally\, students will be taught how to cross-examine information with library resources and how to ethically use these resources for their course assignments. \nWhile geared towards students\, faculty are invited to attend to see how these tools could be used with students. \nThis session can be applied toward competencies 1 and 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: Jonathan Torres (Business Librarian) \nREGISTER \nThis is an online event.
