First Spring LIVE Learning Innovation Talk - Wednesday January 21
|
The Promise and Peril of People Analytics
|
|
|
|
Leading organizations are increasingly using people analytics to generate insights that drive smarter workforce decisions. The potential is genuinely promising. However, the rapid growth of analytics and workplace technologies has also fueled a “quantified employee” agenda, along with growing concerns about privacy and ethics that can quickly undermine that promise. Many in the field insist that Big Data doesn’t have to mean Big Brother—but some recent high-profile technologies and practices have made employees (and the media) wonder otherwise.

|
Join us for our first LIVE Learning Innovation Seminar on January 21 from 12-1, when Dr. Salvatore Falletta will walk through a practical seven-step approach—the People Analytics Cycle—for building and scaling people analytics capabilities that are not only evidence-based, but also ethical enough that employees won’t feel like they’re living in a dystopian workplace surveillance thriller.

Panel on Gen AI Use & Writing
|
|
|
Join Peabody Library, the Data Science Institute, AdvancED, and the Writing Studio for a dialogue on how artificial intelligence (AI) has been and potentially will continue to be used in writing assignments and other parts of course activities. This panel is intended to provide clarity for faculty and staff on some of the pain points that exist around the use of generative AI in classrooms and start answering questions about current resources, techniques, and strategies that can help as AI becomes more readily accessible.
