SUMMARY:AI Faculty Learning Community - Best Practices and Lessons Learned
DESCRIPTION:A faculty learning community (FLC) is a small interdisciplinary peer-led group who engages in a collaborative program focused on building a sense of community and enhancing teaching and learning. During the 2025-2026 academic year\, our FLC focused on generative AI and have developed a series of recommendations and best practices to share with our faculty peers. \nFormat:  Presentation followed by a Q&A with members of a participant panel \nWhat You’ll Gain: \n* Recommendations for developing course and assignment level AI policies. \n*Tips for developing AI assisted course materials. \n*Recommendations for developing activities and assessments. \n*Ideas for assessing student AI literacy in the early stages of the semester. \n*Examples of policies\, assessments\, and other artifacts developed by the group. \n*Insight based on the lessons learned by FLC members over the course of the academic year. \n  \nFacilitated By: The 2025-2026 VTSU AI Faculty Learning Community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register for this event. When you do\, you will receive an automatic email from the CTLI confirming your registration. This email will include the Zoom link and the option to “add to calendar” using an embedded hyperlink – this will work for Outlook\, Google Calendar\, and Yahoo Calendar.

SUMMARY:Prepare for Fall: Agentic AI and Its Impact on Teaching & Learning
DESCRIPTION:Due to zero registrations for this event\, it has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for Fall 2026. If you are interested in engaging in professional development in May on the topic of AI\, please attend this May 6 session: AI Faculty Learning Community – Best Practices and Lessons Learned.\n  \nThis workshop is an introduction to agentic AI (AI systems that can plan\, make decisions\, and take action toward goals with limited human prompting). We’ll define and distinguish agentic AI from other types of AI (generative\, predictive\, custom chatbot agents) and consider the implications of this emerging technology on teaching\, learning\, and academic integrity. The session emphasizes critical reflection\, risk assessment\, and possible response strategies\, especially with an eye toward Fall 2026 classes. \nOur learning objectives for participants: \n\n*Differentiate agentic AI from generative AI\, predictive AI\, and custom chatbot agents.\n*Describe the core characteristics of agentic AI.\n*Consider risks\, challenges\, and limitations of agentic AI in higher education (we’re not sure if there are benefits – but we’ll consider those too!).\n*Evaluate implications of agentic AI for course design and assessment.\n*Articulate at least one actionable strategy for responding to agentic AI in your own teaching practice.\n\nFacilitated By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller (CTLI Director) and Jeff Tunney. (CTLI Associate Director). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Series on Writing & Generative AI: Reflecting in Community: Learning & Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:Audience: All \n“…reflection in the context of learning is a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to new understandings and appreciation. It may take place in isolation or in association with others…” (Boud\, Keogh\, Walker\, 1985\, p. 19).  \nAfter a series of workshops focused on generative AI and writing\, this final session is intended to be a space for reflection\, meaning-making\, and identification of future actions. Participants will engage in individual and collective reflection activities designed to surface new knowledge\, insights\, and questions. Participants should leave with a greater sense of clarity about their own next steps\, ranging from further professional development on generative AI to pedagogical techniques for better addressing generative AI in future writing assignments.  \nReference:  \nBoud\, D.\, Keogh\, R.\, & Walker\, D. (1985.) Promoting reflection in learning: A model. In D. Boud\, R. Keough\, & D. Walker (Eds.)\, Reflection: Turning experience into learning (pp. 18-40). RoutledgeFalmer.  \nPresented By: Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, CTLI Director and Elise Wallace\, Castleton Writing Coordinator \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register for this event and any others of interest in the series of spring 2026 Writing & Generative AI workshops. When you do\, you will receive an automatic email from the CTLI confirming your registration.

SUMMARY:Building Anti-Racist Educators: Reading & Inquiry Series - May Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As educators\, we want to do our jobs well. We want to be fair\, we want to promote safe communities\, and we want to support all our students in every aspect of their lives. Tools help us realize these goals that we already have.\n \n\n\n Educators\, even those with experience and compassion\, may unconsciously negatively impact students in their classrooms. We believe that through consistent study and reflection\, we can slowly address our own unconscious biases and make changes so we can better support the academic\, social and emotional well-being of our students.\n \n\n\n We want YOU to be part of a decentralized inquiry series to support educators to better explore their own biases and improve their own teaching practices.\n \n\n\n This Reading and Inquiry Series provides a monthly set of tools for learning\, introspection and having conversations about issues of racism in our university\, classrooms and communities. We hope that through regular reflection and conversation\, you can get better at recognizing and resisting your biases and the impact they have on your students and colleagues. \n\n \nTo receive a calendar invitation\, Zoom link\, and access to the Canvas space\, please fill out the Vermont State Colleges Building Anti-Racist Educators Sign-Up Form. Note – you only need to complete the form once for the year!\n \n\nSponsored and facilitated by the VTSU Office of Culture & Institutional Excellence and the VTSU CTLI.
