Teaching Tips
Teaching with Technology
In previous TLC teaching tips, we shared several pedagogical resources pertaining to generative artificial Intelligence (GAI), including the AI Assessment Scale, the Student Guide to AI Literacy, and the fluency and literacy frameworks. This time, we are featuring a resource developed by and for the Drexel University community: the Dragons’ Guide to GAI.
As the year comes to an end, many of us find ourselves using this time to reflect on our teaching. What did we accomplish? What are we proud of? What was challenging? What still needs work? As we celebrate our wins and acknowledge the ways we wish to improve, we may also want to consider kindness and how it intersects with our teaching.
Active and Collaborative Learning
Pre-med students in a Biology course measure urban air quality in collaboration with citizen-scientists from the local community; students in a 300-level Business seminar design improvements to a campus COVID-19 testing center; political science students use Geographic Information Systems for conducting neighborhood analyses of political conflicts; students in an English Literature class curate an exhibit of rare books from the university library; upper-level Engineering students design and build a greenhouse for a local community garden: these are just some examples of exciting learning experiences from project-based learning (PBL) courses.
