Wrong Place Wrong Time: A Novel by Gillian McAllister
As you watch from the window, your son emerges, and you realize he isn’t alone: he’s walking toward a man, and he’s armed. Your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don’t know who. You don’t know why. That night you fall asleep in despair. All is lost. Until you wake… and it is yesterday. And then you wake again… and it is the day before yesterday. Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. With another chance to stop it. Somewhere in the past lies an answer. The trigger for this crime – and you don’t have a choice but to find it.

- Preventing ChatGPT Misuse: Making Academic Integrity Policies Explicit About AI – Archived recording (search by the title or filter the search for “On Demand”) – Many of us in higher education are concerned that students will use ChatGPT and miss the purpose of the writing assignment. How can we move forward to prevent this learning loss without penalizing students or making them feel suspect? First, the webinar emphasizes two steps: (1) designing writing assessments to encourage intrinsic motivation and student engagement, and (2) making academic integrity policies explicit about AI use. The webinar also considers the pros and cons of AI text detection software, designing assignments ChatGPT is not good at, and more.

- Participate in summer professional development training (if not previously completed campus-approved PD).
- Have regular and substantive interaction with students to meet accreditation requirements for online delivery.

We would develop topics based on the needs and wishes of participants. We would then find speakers, readings, and facilitate discussions on the topics. Some potential topics include creating a sense of belonging in a Zoom classroom, creative approaches to assessing learning, encouraging and tracking participation, and using breakout rooms for small group work.

More information about The Craft of Teaching Initiative
Craft of Teaching is a teaching cohort. Craft is open to faculty members, including full-time, part-time and lecturers, who have at least two semesters of teaching experience at UHMC. This faculty development program is interdisciplinary and interdepartmental.
Purpose: To build learning cohorts of instructors to support each other’s growth in the craft of teaching. Members will learn strategies for making courses more engaging, teaching content more effectively, improving and assessing student mastery, while enhancing professionalism and the intrinsic rewards and joys of teaching.
Being in a cohort provides opportunities to learn from research, articles, books, experts and discussions with each other in a positive, facilitated environment and then reflect on what you have learned and then apply it to make improvement for both UHMC students and yourself.
In cohort meetings members will present and discuss plans based on what they have learned during cohort meetings or from other sources, report on implementation, and get feedback from others. In addition to participation and supporting others in the cohort members will be responsible for two projects.
At the final meeting of a cohort members will submit a short, written summary of each of their projects:
- Making improvements for students:
- Identify a barrier for student learning in this course.
- Develop a strategy (ies) to assist students in overcoming this barrier. This could be a content issue or a student non-cognitive issue.
- Implement the strategy (ies) or make a plan to do so the next time the course is taught.
- Making improvements for yourself:
- Identify a barrier to your enjoyment, engagement and/or comfort teaching this course. This could be some of the content of the course or characteristics of students who take the course.
- Develop a strategy (ies) for increasing your enjoyment, engagement, and/or comfort.
- Implement the strategy (ies) or make a plan to do so the next time the course is taught.
Benefits: Many, including being more professional and enjoying your teaching more as well as developing new strategies to help your students both while learning and while they are engaging in the learning process at UHMC. For faculty members, this experience will enhance your tenure and promotion documents; while lecturers will receive a stipend when the projects are completed.
Email BK at bkg@hawaii.edu to let us know if you will be joining us or if you have questions.
