The more we understand metacognition\, the better we can support learners in developing metacognitive skills and strategies that empower them to navigate the current technological landscape productively and with integrity. This interactive session provides an exploration of what metacognition is\, its relevance in the age of GenAI\, and easy-to-implement strategies that support metacognition in any discipline. \nExplicitly including metacognitive strategies into a course doesn’t have to take much time or even replace course content; participants can consider various ways to intentionally infuse these strategies into pre-existing coursework. \nREGISTER URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/metacognition-is-uniquely-human-metacognitive-strategies-in-the-age-of-generative-ai/ LOCATION:Pane Room in the Alexander Library (College Avenue)\, 169 College Avenue\, New Brunswick\, NJ\, 08901\, United States CATEGORIES:Workshop ORGANIZER;CN="SAS Office of Undergraduate Education":MAILTO:teachinglearning@sas.rutgers.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261030T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261030T112000 DTSTAMP:20260915T091026 CREATED:20260710T163014Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T182313Z UID:5115-1793354400-1793359200@teaching.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Book Group: The Norton Guide to AI-Aware Teaching DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to teach in an age of AI?
