Part 2: AI is Here to Stay…Now What? A Conversation
Thursday, February 13th, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
This Timely Topic will explore the impact of AI use through the lens of equitable access and fairness in higher education. Specifically, we will explore the impact of restricting AI, especially the impact of restriction on non-native English-speaking scholars. Finally, we will review The Graduate School Academic, Scholarly, and Professional Integrity and Misconduct (ASPIM) Policy to foster greater understanding of how to report Scholarly Misconduct, with a focus on ASPIM when AI use is suspected.
FACILITATORS:
- Mary Bernstein, Associate Dean of The Graduate School
- Kimberly Curry, Director of Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Support, The Graduate School
Jeannie Slayton, Director of Intercultural Programs and Support/UCAELI

Enhancing student engagement with the readings
Tuesday, February 18th, 2025
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Can students meet your course objectives without reading the texts? If so, what is the value of assigning reading in your course? What learning objectives does reading help students meet? These foundational questions will frame our discussion. Tools and approaches will be shared for:
- Creating reading guides and worksheets
- Choosing texts
- Annotation tools (Perusall, Voicethread)
- Activities such as games, remixes, and Generative AI
- Modeling engagement
Ideas will be shared for curating a reading list, including: alphabetic texts vs. audio and video; amount of reading assigned; and organizing access to course readings. This is an interactive session, and participants are encouraged to share their experiences and questions.
