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.

As the Senior Consultant for Instructional and Organizational Development\, her influence has reached every corner of campus\, where she has mentored generations of instructors and partnered with various departments to embed high-impact\, evidence-based practices into the UWM curriculum. \n\n\n\nConnie’s impact extended well beyond the boundaries of our campus as a recognized consultant\, speaker\, and scholar. Her 2011 book\, Coming in from the Margins\, helped redefine the strategic role of teaching centers in higher education transformation\, while her leadership within the POD Network earned her the prestigious Robert Menges Award on two separate occasions. At UWM\, she was instrumental in leading signature professional development programs\, including the creation of the Course Design Institute\, Educators’ Institute\, multiple certificate programs\, and heralding the Active Learning Classroom Initiative on campus\, leaving behind valuable institutional infrastructure that will benefit the university for years to come. \n\n\n\nWhat truly distinguishes Connie is the combination of professional depth and personal warmth she brought to her work every day. Whether spearheading campus-wide initiatives or providing thoughtful one-on-one consultations\, she has always remained a steadfast advocate for faculty and student engagement. Her colleagues at CASL and throughout the university will remember her tireless work ethic and the mentorship she has extended to everyone she encountered. As Connie moves into this next chapter\, we celebrate a legacy of service that fundamentally improved the learning experiences of countless students and wish her the very best in her retirement. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\nEngelmann Hall (ENG) B732033 E.

DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nAs university-wide Scantron support winds down\, many instructors are facing a crossroads in their assessment strategy. This 60-minute “Lunch and Learn” provides a space to discuss and prepare for the transition. From 12:00–12:30\, we will address departmental licensing options for alternative scanning software\, how to maximize Canvas Quizzes for high-stakes testing\, and digital “paper-to-cloud” tools that replicate the Scantron experience. We will also provide resources and options to modify exams in the age of generative AI—including “AI-resistant” question design\, digital proctoring\, and alternative question design. The remaining 30 minutes will be for questions and discussions among current Scantron users.  \n\n\n\nEvent Location\n\n\n\nVirtually on ZoomRegister to get the link to the event! \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n University Email(Required)\n \n Please provide instructions if you require accommodations for this eventUniversity Appointment?\n \n \n Tenured / Tenured-track Faculty\n \n \n \n Non-tenured Faculty\n \n \n \n Staff\n \n \n \n Teaching Assistant\n \n \n \n Student\n \n \n \n Other\n If you selected Other\, please explain.University Department or Business Unit?How did you hear about this event?
