These eight elements of quality leverage the “high impact” that increases achievement\, graduation\, retention\, and learning. We will begin with an overview of the HIPs Eight Elements with 51 examples of embedding them in assignments\, activities\, and outcomes. \n\n\n\nWe will break into pairs to practice embedding the Eight Elements into your course assignment. Please be sure to bring or be able to access a course assignment for the exercise. \n\n\n\nWe will close with a brief review of strategies and tools for departments to scale and sustain HIPs in their department and curriculum based on the fall Success Summit Action Plans.

On March 5th\, Itziar Lazakano will demonstrate how she transformed this challenge into an opportunity through weekly current events discussions that make AI interaction an explicit part of the learning process. By requiring students to document their AI prompts alongside their work\, Lazakano created a structured environment for students to experiment with and reflect on their AI use. Join us to explore how this approach not only improves students’ AI literacy but also strengthens their engagement with course content. \n\n\n\nThis session will be held both in-person and online via Zoom.
