Embracing Our Student’s Technologies: From AI to Specs—An Undergraduate Educator Network Webinar

By Eva Oberdorster posted 13 days ago

  

On Thursday, February 27, a webinar for undergraduate educators will explore the implementation of Specifications Grading (Specs Grading) in upper-level courses as a means to streamline assessment processes, reduce the time spent on traditional point-based grading (and student requests for re-grading), and focus on fostering higher-level critical thinking skills. Educators will learn how shifting to pass/fail assignments with clear, detailed checklists enhances student accountability and engagement while creating more opportunities for positive, constructive feedback. Additionally, the one-hour webinar, starting at 2:00 pm (US EST, UTC -4), will cover integrating student analysis of AI-generated content. This approach helps students learn how to use this new tool while understanding the limitations and mastering course material.

Although this webinar is focused mostly on undergraduates, examples in this webinar could also be helpful for those teaching graduate courses.

Previous Undergraduate Educator Network (UEN) webinars on a variety of topics related to teaching toxicology are found on the UEN webinar page.

The Educational and Experiential Opportunities Committee is responsible for organizing this webinar. Thank you to members Tracie Baker, Eva-Maria Collins, Nick Filipov, and Kim Zaccaria for their efforts.
