SUMMARY:TIIP: Beyond ChatGPT – Navigating Alternative Models
DESCRIPTION:While ChatGPT has captured the headlines\, the generative AI landscape is vast and rapidly evolving. This session moves past the familiar to navigate alternative AI models and specialized tools that can influence your teaching and research. We’ll demystify concepts like Large Language Models (LLMs) and emerging “OMNI” models\, exploring how different platforms—like Google’s Gemini\, Anthropic’s Claude\, and even local AI models—can be leveraged for advanced research\, video summarization\, and handwriting recognition. Additionally\, we’ll look at the next generation of AI assistants and agents. The session will also dive into the critical benefits and pitfalls of AI in accessibility\, from text-to-speech that enables differentiated learning paths to the nuances of voice recognition. Discover how this new suite of technologies can foster integrative learning and help students make novel connections across the curriculum. Finally\, we’ll address the challenge of how to adapt your course policies for a world with a diverse range of AI tools. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Rutgers Recreation: Self Defense & Personal Safety
DESCRIPTION:Join RUPD for an entry level assault defense course that requires no previous martial arts training. We will discuss situational awareness and the impact awareness has on you and a potential assailant. Since physical force is a last resort\, we will discuss alternative means to de-escalate a situation by either confronting an attacker or diffusing a situation. Once a situation becomes physical\, the goal is to get away from the threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. Come out and join RUPD for some tactical training tools that will help you protect yourself if you ever become a victim of an attack. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:TIIP: Supporting Neurodivergent Learners in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 1-hour virtual workshop on supporting neurodivergent students in higher education. We’ll explore evidence-based strategies\, grounded in Universal Design for Learning\, for building more inclusive\, flexible learning environments. Drawing on practical guides (including the work of Karen Costa and Jennifer Pusateri)\, you’ll reflect on how to leverage students’ assets rather than deficits and adjust course design\, communication\, and assessment practices. Whether you’re new to neurodiversity or want to deepen your practice\, you’ll leave with concrete ideas to make your teaching more welcoming and effective for all learners.  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:TIIP: Prompting Cookbook
DESCRIPTION:In this hands-on workshop you will explore prompt engineering as a key ingredient as you think about course design\, while considering alignment between course objectives\, module-level objectives to design of assignments and assessments. Work alongside us as we use prompting to assist in course design preparation (by creating course goals\, defining module-level learning objectives\, draft assessments and create rubrics). This is to be followed by the use of prompting to generate active learning activities\, instructional aids for practices and assessments\, lesson plans and more. We will be examining available resources to review existing worked-through exemplars for strengths and possibilities for improvement. \nREGISTER
