Hi everyone,
I wanted to take a moment to highlight a couple recent posts from the Center for Innovative Teaching & Learning (CITL) blog. As you'll see, it's an insightful and timely resource, written by CITL team members.
Using Social Annotation to Fact-Check Generative AI
Eric Brinkman explores how annotating sample generative AI outputs, such as texts produced by chatbots like Copilot or ChatGPT, can help students evaluate the benefits and risks of this technology in a hands–on, transparent, and experiential way. Note: Eric will be hosting an online workshop on this topic on March 5, and a faculty showcase on generative AI assignments on March 7 –– register for those sessions here.
What's going on in my classes? A mid-semester survey can give you some clues
As Madeleine Gonin writes, "Mid-semester surveys are a great way for students to tell you what is working in your class and what you might change to help their learning. Most importantly, a mid-semester survey can help you gauge ... students' sense of belonging in your class, how supported students feel, the relevance of your course materials, and the accessibility of course resources."

And, as always, check out upcoming events at the bottom of this email –– if you're interested in social annotation or artificial intelligence (AI) tools, then be sure to register for next month's webinars!
