Outcomes that are specific and higher-order encourage students to meet course expectations and assessment tasks with integrity. Outcomes that are responsive to authentic futures develop students’ critical and ethical engagement within and beyond course contexts. Learning outcomes can be crafted to guide students in appropriate course and academic behaviour, and help them build capacities and competencies to participate in a GenA.I.-infused world. This workshop will lead participants in crafting such outcomes, with tips on how to communicate them to students and testing the alignment of assessments and activities with outcomes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h4>Prepare</h4> <p>Participants should come prepared with one or two learning outcomes they would like to workshop.</p> Tue, 22 Jul 2025 13:00:00 GMT /dept/clt/events-news/Calendar%20of%20Events/2025/07/22/adapting_learning_outcomes_to_a_gena_i__world.html 2025-07-22T13:00:00Z Constructing Effective Rubrics with Rubric Swap (online) /dept/clt/events-news/Calendar%20of%20Events/2025/08/14/constructing_effective_rubrics_with_rubric_swap__online_.html <p>Thursday August 14<br> 1–2:30 p.m.<br> Online via Microsoft Teams<br> <a adhocenable="false" href="https://app.simplycast.ca/?q=forms/new/take&amp;token=686667605f51b8-70732330" target="_blank">Link to register for the session</a> (opens in new tab)</p> <p>Want to spend LESS time grading and providing feedback?
