SUMMARY:Webinar | Content Creation Using AI: How AI Can Be Used to Build Courses and Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:A team in the US used ChatGPT to create a 19-module\, 36-hour long micro-credential in less than 20 hours. Their second course took half the time and the third half again. Content engines accelerated the creation of quality content. \nOthers are using AI to convert text-to-speech so presentations offered to students can have a soundtrack which in turn can be translated into one of 60 languages. Others are using the AI-enabled design features of video production suites to create much more engaging online presentations. AI is becoming a content creation partner to produce quality learning materials. \nKey Takeaways \nIn this engaging and interactive introduction to AI-enabled content creation\, you learn: \n•    Which AI resources are available that can help you quickly create quality content.\n•    What you should be cautious about and what we know are problems with AI-enabled content creation.\n•    How to leverage AI text-to-speech and speech-to-text for learning material creation.\n•    How to use the AI design features for a variety of material creation activities.\n•    How content curation is a major opportunity for AI-enabled supports\, especially for students with exceptionalities. \nThroughout the webinar\, we look at examples of current and emerging practice in AI-enabled content creation. \nHost: Dr. Stephen Murgatroyd\,Chief Innovation Officer\, Contact North | Contact Nord

SUMMARY:20 MM | What Are 7 Ways to Assess Students in an Ungraded Classroom?
DESCRIPTION:Come join this facilitated discussion as we watch a 20 Minute Mentor video session led by Emily Dosmar\, PhD. This session\, “What Are 7 Ways to Assess Students in an Ungraded Classroom?” builds upon the previous session on an Ungraded classroom. Ungrading is using assessments that seek to improve their content knowledge and skills rather than relying on a letter grade or percentage. Ungrading focuses on feedback\, performance and demonstrated growth to determine their achievement. If you missed the first CETL Session on Ungrading that is ok because watching the previous video is not mandatory and we will be sending out a link to the previous CETL session the day before so you may review it. \nThis session will review what ungrading is and how to assess students in an ungraded classroom with seven strategies for instructors to use in an ungraded classroom. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe what ungrading is.\nDescribe how to use a gradebook when assessing students in an ungraded classroom.\nDiscuss how to best implement feedback for students.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Cultivating Deep Learning Using Discussion Boards
DESCRIPTION:A frequent sentiment that is often heard from instructors of online courses is a general sense of dissatisfaction with traditional discussion board activities. Many report how students are often reluctant to engage in meaningful discourse or how interactions tend toward superficiality and sound something like\, “Hello\, Rob. I agree with your point and couldn’t have said it better myself.” This often leaves instructors feeling frustrated and tempted to abandon traditional discussion boards as a learning tool altogether or in search of alternative means by which to engage learner collaboration. \nAsynchronous discussion boards are a common tool used by instructors in online courses. These forums can provide an outlet to foster the interaction and collaboration that are sometimes lacking in an online learning environment. When students are engaged in conversations in these settings\, the asynchronous nature of discussions can provide them with time to reflect on their responses before interacting with their peers in a way that is often not feasible in a face-to-face discussion. In this way\, when it is used well\, the discussion board can offer the ideal blend of reflection and collaboration that promotes the construction of knowledge in an online learning environment.
