In this session\, we’ll explore how Stuart Moulthrop designed and introduced a custom GPT to support reading-based discussion and scholarly experimentation in a theory course. The project began as a practical test—what could AI do with a semester’s worth of readings—but evolved into a reflection on what it means to be a scholar\, teacher\, and creator alongside AI. Join us to discuss how custom assistants can support learning\, reveal the limits of current tools\, and spark new conversations about co-creation\, resistance\, and the future of academic work. \n\n\n\nThis session will be held online via Zoom. Registration is not required but helps us prepare. \n\n\n\nJoin us via this link! \n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nVirtually on Zoom\, please register to receive an email with the link. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form URL:/advancing-learning/event/active-teaching-lab-2025-11-05/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Career and Leadership Development,CETL Events,Faculty and Staff,51 Campus Events,Virtual,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/advancing-learning/wp-content/uploads/sites/643/2024/04/active-teaching-lab.png ORGANIZER;CN="Lane Sunwall":MAILTO:sunwall@uwm.edu X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251105T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251105T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T224604 CREATED:20250818T195930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250818T195932Z UID:10000497-1762345800-1762347600@uwm.edu SUMMARY:HIPs in Low Stakes Assessments & Grading Schemes | Virtual DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nLow stakes assessments are brief and vital turning points for your teaching and student success. Although they are worth “low points\,” they can help you check student grasp of higher-level concepts or lower-level knowledge.  Student learning\, confusion\, and disengagement will become evident much earlier and inform your teaching before higher stakes assessments weigh students down. Infused with the HIPs Elements\, these quick low stake assessments can become fun\, relevant\, and pivotal gems that will  increase student success and signal confusion or disengagement.
