This workshop is for faculty that are interested in exploring a Flipped Classroom approach for their courses. The Flipped Classroom, generally speaking, is where students consume content (usually through videos, articles, or infographics) before class sessions, which opens up class time for projects, individualized feedback sessions, and other collaborative work. Research shows that the Flipped Classroom approach can lead to more student engagement, increased student interactions, and better learning outcomes. Come see if Flipping your Course is right for you!

Duration: 60 Minutes Format: Hybrid (In-person & Zoom) / Hands-on Workshop

Overview: Faculty often struggle to provide comprehensive review materials due to time constraints, while students frequently report difficulty synthesizing information across lectures, readings, and slide decks. Enter Google NotebookLM: a secure, source-grounded AI tool that allows you to upload your specific course materials and instantly generate tailored study aids.

Unlike general AI tools (like ChatGPT), NotebookLM is "grounded" in your documents, meaning it only answers based on the material you provide, significantly reducing hallucinations and increasing relevance.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to turn your existing course syllabus, PDFs, and slide decks into a dynamic study guide, a customized FAQ, and even an engaging "Audio Overview" podcast for your students to listen to on the go.

Reading assignments are part of most college courses, yet many students struggle to complete them. Textbooks, articles, websites, and other materials are essential for student success, but motivating students to engage with these resources can be challenging across disciplines and teaching levels. This workshop will explore practical, research-informed strategies to encourage students to complete assigned readings. We will also interact with some tools on AsULearn to support reading. Join us to learn actionable tips that can help foster accountability and improve engagement with reading.

Workshop Activity Level: Individual reflection, Group Discussion (verbal or written), Practice with AsULearn resources

Note-taking is an overlooked learning tool that deepens understanding and retention. Yet many students don't take notes or struggle to take useful notes, often defaulting to passive transcription or minimal engagement. This workshop explores how intentional strategies and accessible course design supports better note-taking practices without adding significant work to your teaching load.

In this 50-minute session, we'll look at a range of ways you can support better note-taking, including designing slides and materials that promote active note-taking rather than passive copying, incorporating guided note-taking templates and frameworks, out-of-the-box note-taking via mapping and diagramming, planning lessons to encourage reflection and synthesis, and aligning note-taking practices with learning objectives and assessments.
