SUMMARY:Unlocking Student Potential Through Transformative Learning Webinar
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to attend an overview of Qedex’s Transformative Educator Program (TEP) inspired by the Transformative Learning initiative at the University of Central Oklahoma and its positive impact on faculty\, student retention rates\, and student success in the classroom & workplace. \nMay 3rd (9AM PT\, 10AM MT\, 11AM CT\, 12PM ET) | 50 minutes \nAs higher education grapples with a shifting student demographic\, increased numbers of adjunct faculty\, and growing skepticism about the value of a college degree\, we see the TEP as a timely\, effective\, affordable\, and accessible way to address these challenges. Participants will receive supporting data\, take-away resources to support instructors on your campus\, and details about upcoming faculty cohorts in the TE Program which includes access to MERLOT’s e-portfolio platform. \nTransformative Learning has been around for decades (Mezirow\, 1978; Cranton\, 2006) but there’s been a renewal of interest in recent years as a result of measurable impacts that demonstrate its capacity to advance teaching and learning (in the US and abroad).\n \nREGISTER HERE:\nhttps://www.qedex.org/transforming-education/ \nPresenters:\nJeff King\nAssistant Vice President of Transformative Learning\,\nUniversity of Central Oklahoma \nKatherine Whitaker\, Dean\, School of Business and Entrepreneurship\, Division of Academic Affairs\,\nVoorhees University \nLinda Bloomberg\,  Associate Director\, Faculty Support and Development\,\nSanford College of Education\, National University \nStuart Blacklock\, CEO\, Qedex \nFacilitator:\nHoag Holmgren\, Chief Innovation Officer\, Qedex \n\nKind regards\,\nHoag Holmgren\nwww.qedex.org

SUMMARY:ChatGPT for Programming: Exploring AI as a Potential Equity-Lever for Learning to Code?
DESCRIPTION:Session Information\nDate: Monday\, May 15 \nTime: 12pm – 1:30pm PT \nLocation: Zoom (Register for Zoom link) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession Description\nHow can we leverage AI to support authentic learning while also mitigating potential harm to learning?  This is a national conversation happening across higher education\, and the applications vary across disciplines. When it comes to programming\, there is a lot of potential for supporting student learning-​- ​helping students understand why their code might be incorrect\, interpreting and providing documentation on lines of code\, and improving student code by making it more complex or more streamlined depending on the goal​ — just to name a few examples.​ ​L​ive virtual ​1:1 ​support​ via ChatGPT and other similar tools​ is ​now ​available 24-7 and ​accessible to all students\, regardless of their financial means​.​ In this modern age of AI\, how can we best leverage these new and emerging tools to support all students (in particular\, those who may need extra help)? How do we coach students on how to interact with AI responsibly and in a way that deepens their learning (and does not undermine it)? \nPresenters: \nWilliam Stein\, CEO of SageMath and CoCalc.com will present on CoCalc’s AI tool and data collected on how students engage with that tool.  Sharmila Venugopal\,Assistant Adjunct Professor for Integrative Biology and Physiology will the Life Sciences Core will share her experiences piloting activities that ask students to engage with ChatGPT to compare and contrast their debugging skills with the AI generated responses. \n  \nSession facilitated by:  Jess Gregg\, Senior Associate Director for the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences (CEILS). Contact Jess at jessgregg@ceils.ucla.edu with any questions.
