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:20260503T010333 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=UTC:20260310T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260310T130000 DTSTAMP:20260503T010334 CREATED:20251209T231801Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T231857Z UID:3629-1773144000-1773147600@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:How Learning Happens [Grad/Postdoc Workshop] DESCRIPTION:Facilitator: Jamie Kim  \nWhat motivates students to invest effort\, stay engaged\, and take ownership of their learning? Join us to discuss how learning happens for students and how we as instructors can help support that process! This session\, grounded in the science of learning\, explores how prior knowledge shapes new understanding\, how learners organize and retain information\, and how instructors can help their students stay motivated and engaged in learning. Participants will be invited to share their own classroom experiences and discuss practical strategies for helping students strengthen metacognitive skills and become more self-directed learners. This session is part of the Improving Your Classroom Skills certificate program for graduate students and postdocs.  \nREGISTER  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/how-learning-happens-grad-postdoc-workshop/ 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:20260310T121500 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260310T131500 DTSTAMP:20260503T010334 CREATED:20251209T220846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T141351Z UID:3602-1773144900-1773148500@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:SNAFU.edu: Book Group DESCRIPTION:Start your semester with community and perspective by joining our five-part virtual book club on Snafu Edu by Jessamyn Neuhaus. This thoughtful and practical book helps educators\, especially those newer to teaching\, make sense of common classroom challenges related to inequity\, disconnection\, distrust\, failure\, and fear. Together\, we will explore how these issues show up in real teaching contexts and how instructors can respond with clarity\, compassion\, and confidence. Each 1-hour session offers a welcoming space to share experiences\, reflect on the book’s insights\, and build a supportive network as you begin or continue your teaching journey.  \nREGISTER NOW.
