Upcoming Events

Quality Matters Workshop

We will be running the online, two-week asynchronous version of the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric Workshop (APPQMR) September 26th - October 10th. This is a great opportunity to learn about the standards in the Quality Matters rubric, the concept of alignment in course design, and QM's peer review process. The workshop will feature the newly published 7th edition of the rubric, which has new guidance for hybrid and online synchronous courses.

For those local to GW, there will be a one-day in-person version of the same workshop held September 14th at GW’s Arlington, VA campus with colleagues from the College for Professional Studies (CPS). Contact Laurie or Alison if you are interested in attending either version of the workshop (lbl@gwu.edu or alisonmcguire@gwu.edu).

Lunch & Learn: Academic Integrity in 2023

Have you been wondering...

What changes were made to GW’s code of academic integrity this year?
How can you promote academic integrity in your courses, particularly in an era with generative AI and sites such as Chegg and Course Hero?
Why should you report academic integrity violations?
Are you new to the University?
Do you have questions about promoting academic integrity or handling academic integrity issues here at GW?

Whether you teach on-campus or online, full-time or just one course, join us for a Lunch & Learn session with Aaron Howell, Assistant Director in GW's Student Rights & Responsibilities. Aaron will discuss these issues and answer questions for Health Sciences faculty and staff.

Using AI in College Administration

Inside Higher Ed published an article about how deans, associate deans, department chairs, and department heads could utilize generative AI to improve student outcomes. Not an administrator? No problem! The key takeaway here is that you can describe your role to a chatbot and ask what it can do for you.
