SUMMARY:48th Annual POD Network Conference
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us this year as we Envision the Future: Developing Equitable Opportunities for Success (Educational Developer success → Instructor success → Student success) at our institutions. The 48th annual POD Network conference envisions what the future of educational development might look like amid rapid changes in our lives\, institutions\, and societies. As educational developers\, we are in a unique position to influence the success of faculty\, students\, institutions\, and our own programs. By seeing our work through these multiple lenses\, we seek a more holistic view of how educational development (see POD definition of Educational Development) can drive and facilitate the ongoing pursuit of equity in higher education. \n\n\n\n\nThe Conference Team has been working to increase access to our conference\, and one of the most effective ways to do this is to again offer online and on-the-ground venues; this year in Pittsburgh. Both experiences will offer the same “session types”—workshops\, roundtables\, the keynote\, etc.—and provide opportunities for deep engagement with teaching and learning while interacting with fellow POD members. \n\n\n\n\nA new feature this year is a day of “hybrid” sessions that allow attendees in Pittsburgh and online to connect and learn together. The keynote speaker presentation will also be live streamed to virtual attendees. We are also offering a “dual venue” option: attend both Pittsburgh AND online conferences for a reduced rate. You will have the option to attend the online sessions as they are presented during the conference (November 14-17)\, or watch the session recordings at a later time. Sessions will be recorded upon the approval of the facilitators and made available for a period of time (TBD) after November 17.

SUMMARY:Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal’ | 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University\nElon University welcomes university and college educators to the 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference on Wednesday\, June 7th\, 2023. This free\, fully-virtual conference is sponsored jointly by Elon’s Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT). \nConference Theme: Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal\nIn an era of endemic COVID\, higher education finds itself at a precipice of potential\, where we\, as educators\, can redefine the roles of instructor and learner\, rediscover the values that guide our pedagogies and curriculum\, and reimagine learning environments. This work requires space\, time\, and a thoughtful consideration of the collective trauma we have experienced over the last three years. What does our ‘new normal’ look like and how do we ensure that we acknowledge and address the significant inequalities that have been exacerbated over the last three years? This year’s Teaching and Learning Conference envisions exploring\, discussing\, deconstructing\, and rebuilding what it means for us and learners to critically (re)engage in learning. \n

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).
