AI-Resilient Assessments: Reworking a Vulnerable Assignment
This ninety-minute hands-on workshop invites instructors to (re)design assignments to be more responsive to generative AI. There is no silver bullet for learning loss, and no easy way to know where AI can support learning. We can however focus on best practices: simulating AI responses; clearly defining AI policies; establishing AI literacy and citation; foregrounding and assessing process rather than product; integrating the right AI tools selectively where relevant. We will devote some of the agenda to how Yale Library and Poorvu CTL resources can promote AI-resilience. We recommend bringing a draft or previous assignment if possible. Graduate and postdoctoral instructors welcome. Learning Objectives: Experience how AI responds to your assignment and each of its components Learn best practices for creating good “friction” and cognitive challenges Discover how students are using AI (sanctioned and not) in their learning, and determine whether this aligns with your pedagogical goals Assess your assessment: are you grading what you want to grade? Audience: instructional faculty and librarians; graduate and professional student instructors

Promoting Student Engagement through Course Policies and Structures
At a time when there are increasing, competing demands on student attention, how can we, as instructors, structure our classroom to incentivize student engagement and focus? Moreover, how do we effectively communicate our intentions to students and build a trusting classroom community? Aside from classroom activities, the syllabus and our course policies are one main avenue for communicating these decisions to students from our device and AI policies to our participation and accessibility statements. Together, we will discuss concrete strategies for creating equitable course policies and fostering course structures that promote student engagement. Join us for a panel and discussion event, featuring Beverly Gage, John Lewis Gaddis Professor of History and Professor of American Studies; Crystal Feimster, Associate Professor in the Department of Black Studies and the American Studies Program and Head of Pierson College; and Charles Bailyn, the A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of Astronomy and Physics. The panelists will share their own thoughts and pedagogical practices before replying to audience Q&A. Participants are encouraged to come ready to contribute their own questions, challenges, and variations on practices related to student engagement. Lunch will be provided. We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us at faculty.teaching@yale.edu if there are ways we can support accommodations and access needs, be aware of any dietary restrictions, or for other questions.

Teaching Across Disciplines with the Yale University Art Gallery’s Numismatics Collection: Physical Objects and Cultural Documents
The Yale University Art Gallery’s holdings of coins, paper money, tokens, and medals – the study of which is called numismatics – exceed in range and depth those found at any other university in North America. This workshop series focuses on the capacity of the Gallery’s global numismatics collection to support learning goals in any discipline or subject. Money Matters comprises three 90-minute thematic sessions that explore how numismatic objects across time and space can illuminate history, test or expand conceptual frameworks, and cultivate transferable skills. Providing participants with the exceptional opportunity to handle the art, these workshops aim to demystify the field of numismatics and foster an interdisciplinary appreciation of its role across the academic curriculum at Yale. Together with Gallery curators and Yale faculty members Prof. Joe Glynias (History), Prof. William Goetzmann (School of Management) and others, participants will brainstorm how to employ the objects meaningfully in their own teaching. The workshops (individually and as a series) are open to all Yale instructors of record, including tenured and tenure-track faculty, clinical instructional faculty, lecturers, lectors, and part-time acting instructors (PTAIs), as well as postdoctoral fellows and associates. Participants who attend at least two of the workshops are eligible to apply for curriculum development grants supported by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to integrate the Gallery’s numismatics collection in their courses at Yale. Up to five grants of $1,500 each (paid as research funds) will be awarded. The workshops are hosted by Benjamin Hellings, the Jackson-Tomasko Associate Curator of Numismatics, and Liliana Milkova, the Nolen Curator of Education and Academic Affairs, and feature hands-on work and short teaching demos by Yale faculty. Please note that attendance is capped at 18 and registration is required.

Teaching & Learning Discussion | Distinctly Human: Teaching Disciplinary Skills and Mitigating AI Learning Loss
As the landscape of AI continues to change rapidly, many of us find ourselves asking how we can continue to center the human in the classroom. How do we teach core disciplinary skills, mitigate learning loss, and reflect meaningfully on AI’s relationship to these things? What do we value humans doing, whether AI can do it or not? Our conversation will begin with insights from Brett Smith, Senior Lecturer in Mathematics and Jill Campbell, Professor of English. They will share their own thoughts and pedagogical practices and then invite others into the conversation. Participants are encouraged to come ready to contribute their own questions, challenges, and variations on practices related to student engagement and course policies. Lunch will be provided. We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us at faculty.teaching@yale.edu if there are ways we can support accommodations and access needs, be aware of any dietary restrictions, or for other questions.
