SUMMARY:Beyond the AI Tool: Connecting Technical Expertise with Disciplinary Practice (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:As higher education moves beyond the initial surge of AI uncertainty\, attention is shifting toward concrete\, sustainable implementation. Institutions are discovering that broad\, one-size-fits-all approaches fall short\, particularly when they ignore disciplinary context\, diverse pedagogical practices\, and the realities of classroom-level decision- making. At the same time\, uneven AI adoption can widen equity gaps for students and create inconsistent expectations for faculty support. \n\n\n\nThis webinar focuses on moving from strategy to execution. We introduce a practical taxonomy that distinguishes between AI-embedded courses\, where AI is integral to learning outcomes\, and AI- supported courses\, where AI functions as a learning support. Participants will explore key design considerations for developing an institutional integration framework\, including alignment to curriculum\, assessment\, academic integrity\, accessibility\, and adaptability. The webinar also highlights strategies for connecting institutional edtech and IT decision-makers with disciplinary experts and instructors\, creating critical “bridge roles” and collaborative structures required for successful\, scalable AI implementation. \n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes: \n\n\n\n\nDescribe how a “bridge role” collaboration model pairs subject matter expertise with AI/IT expertise.\n\n\n\n\n\nDistinguish between AI-embedded and AI-supported course designs using a practical taxonomy approach.\n\n\n\n\n\nIdentify limitations of blanket AI policies and ad hoc adoption\, including risks to equity and support.\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore key elements of an institutional AI integration framework.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event \n\n\n\nSpecial Note:  This webinar is hosted by Educause and is free to members.  SSC is a member of Educause.  You may have to create an Educause account.  When doing so\, please use your SSC email account.

SUMMARY:CARLI From Memorization to Critical Thinking: An Guide to Designing Higher-Order Assessments (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Special Note:  Even though this webinar is designed for library instructors\, all instructors may benefit.   \n\n\n\nLibrary instructors often rely on multiple-choice questions due to course access\, grading\, and time constraints\, but these questions aren’t limited to assessing knowledge and comprehension.

Using Bloom’s Taxonomy\, Backward Design\, and real instruction examples\, we’ll explore strategies for crafting application-level and above questions\, connecting them to instructional content\, and creating engaging\, application-based activities. \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical tools to up their assessment game moving beyond memorization to building student confidence. This webinar is applicable to any subject area or student level. \n\n\n\nRegister for this event \n\n\n\nSpecial Note:  The SSC Library is a member of CARLI.
