Tuesday, July 9 - Designing for AI and Human Collaboration with MS Copilot.
Participants in this session will build prompt engineering skills to use Microsoft Copilot for an array of instructional design tasks. For example, with the help of artificial intelligence, you can effectively tighten syllabus language and create effective rubrics in minutes.
Wednesday, July 10 - Designing for Authenticity with IRIS.
Participants will use an IRIS (issue, relevance, interdisciplinary, sustained inquiry) approach to create authentic learning experiences. Through engagement in modeled classroom protocols, participants identify an authentic issue in the field that students can research and attempt to solve using the ‘tools of the trade.’
Thursday, July 11- Designing Assessment as Learning for Student Growth.
Participants will take away strategies for low-stakes feedback loops that encourage a culture of ‘failing forward,’ productive struggle paired with ‘ungrading’ approaches to support a growth mindset, and backward planning to chunk manageable feedback cycles with opportunities to improve.
