Learn about Open Educational Resources (OERs):

• What they are and where to find them
• How they can contribute to equity, diversity, and inclusion
• How they can benefit your students’ learning and your own teaching
• How to create your own (tools and processes)

As part of the eCampusOntario OER Rangers’ program, this session represents a shared vision to discover, adopt, create, and promote open educational resources across Ontario.

Please register via Libcal.  The session will be held on Zoom. 

Presenter: Simon Chow, Diversity Research

This session is aimed at equipping educators with strategies for creating assessments that evaluate and enhance student learning outcomes while also developing digital literacy to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) safely and productively. Participants will engage with hands-on demonstrations, explore scaffolding and flipped classroom approaches, and learn to clearly articulate expectations for student collaboration with AI in writing assessments. The workshop will present strategies for guiding students to critically engage with AI outputs, promoting a deeper comprehension of their studies and the nuanced interplay between AI and education. Join this session for insights into refining assessment practices with AI, fostering a critically aware and AI-savvy learning environment.

This workshop will take instructors through the phases of creating and grading assessments in the quiz tool.   Topics will include:

• setting up questions in the various formats

• setting the timing settings of the quiz

• setting up special access times for specific students writing at a different time or who are allowed extra time to write

• previewing the quiz as the students will see it

• viewing the results and statistics of the quiz

• grading any questions that were not automatically graded

• making the grades available to students

This workshop will be delivered through Zoom and will be recorded. The Zoom join link will be provided to registrants before the event.
