Pedagogy Workshop sponsored by CAM
Please join us for the pedagogy workshop, “Being Human in the Age of AI,” which will take place on Tuesday, April 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the Learning Commons Building, 3rd floor, Lecturer Landing Zone.AI is evolving faster than our policies, syllabi, and comfort levels. This workshop is not a tech tutorial; it is a conversation. Drawing on lessons from a course on AI & Human Communication, we will explore the questions that matter most: How do we engage learners honestly and ethically? What does academic integrity mean now? What happens to student identity and voice when AI mediates the learning experience? Through reflection and small-group discussion, participants will leave with a clearer sense of where they stand and how to bring that clarity into their courses.
Our presenter is Soumia Bardhan, one of the three AI Faculty Fellows in the Office of the Provost, Associate Professor in the Department of Communication; Director of CU Denver’s AI & Communication Certificate; Director of International Studies; CFDA and CETL Faculty Fellow; and member of the AI Research Working Group.
Who we are:
UCDALI is a body of shared faculty governance. We are Lecturers, Instructors, and Clinical Research Faculty at CU Denver who represent our IRC community, recognizing the important contributions and achievements we share with students, colleagues, and the University. Our members and officers serve the Schools and College, in Faculty Assembly, representation on the IRC Taskforce initiative, meeting regularly with the Chancellor and Provost, facilitating the funding of IRC professional development, collaborating with CFDA and ThinqStudio, and creating bridge networks between faculty members and units.
Membership:
In virtue of being IRC, every Lecturer, Instructor, Teaching Professor, Clinical or Research Faculty is already a member of UCDALI! Our formal membership structure is organized around Members at Large, Bridge Network Liaisons, and the Executive Committee. UCDALI members have access to work space in our offices; they organize monthly meetings and ad hoc committees to further IRC recognition; link IRC faculty with campus events and resources; and more!
How to get Involved:
The Executive Committee of UCDALI meets monthly, and IRC faculty are welcome to join in any of our meetings online or in-person. See the main page for upcoming meetings, or click below to find out more about past meetings.
