The Science of Learning Meets AI 

Facilitated by Becky Boncoddo (Psychological Science)

This book, by Ludwig and Zakrajsek, blends critiques of AI's costs and limitations with practical ideas on ways that it can support deep learning, all based on the latest research into how we learn.

Learn more about the GivePulse platform and how you can use it for your courses, research, and projects.

Specification Grading 

Facilitated by Ashley Green (Sociology)

The author of this book is Linda Nilson. Specification grading is an alternative to "normal" points-based grading systems that considers equity and mastery to be core goals. 

The Opposite of Cheating 

This book, by Bertram, recognizes that AI detectors seem destined to lose the technology arms race we find ourselves in and instead considers a range of practical ways to guide students towards making choices that support their learning.

All books will be provided by the CTI.
