When you use Canvas to provide instructional materials, engage students in activities, or assess student understanding, Canvas gathers data about it. Using built-in dashboards, you can easily access a variety of data and see how students are engaging with your Canvas course site. This kind of data is a good starting place to identify indicators of success or challenges in your courses. Combined with other sources of student feedback, data can become information you can actively use to support student success.
In this webinar you will learn how to access various types of Canvas data, what they do and don’t mean, and how to supplement that data to paint a fuller picture of your course. We will also discuss ethical considerations, thoughts on revising materials and interactions to provide more usable data, and recommendations for promoting student agency and trust. This workshop is also offered on April 18 at 11:00 a.m.

Evidence-based teaching practices are research-supported methods of teaching that foster high levels of student learning and retention. These active learning strategies are rooted in principles of how people learn and may be successfully adapted to different disciplines. This webinar will provide an introduction to various evidence-base teaching practices and particularly focus on two such evidence-based teaching practices, Peer Instruction and Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Using examples drawn from different disciplines, participants will be equipped to implement a Peer Instruction or PBL strategy for an assignment in a course of their own, and discuss techniques to assess student learning gains.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching Foundations (previously known as Teaching@IUPUI). Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the webinars are short, with brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the webinars address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time. Recordings of past Teaching@IUPUI webinars are available on the Center for Teaching and Learning website for you to access anytime.

In this workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about generative AI technologies such as image generators like Dall-E and text generators like ChatGPT. Through hands-on exercises, they will engage with these tools and explore their potential applications.
During the workshop, participants will have the chance to use both technologies. Through discussions and presentations, we will also consider the implications of these technologies.
Please note that to participate in the hands-on parts of the workshop, participants will need an OpenAI account for access to Dall-E and ChatGPT. If you don't already have an account, we encourage you to go to ChatGPT’s site and sign up beforehand to ensure a smoother experience during the workshop. For those unable to or prefer not to create an account, we will have alternate means by which you can participate.
