Nate Fifield, EMI Advisor, Foundation for Scholarly Exchange
Description:
Designing and assessing assignments can be exhausting, but AI tools can help lighten the load. In this workshop, we’ll walk through the entire process—creating a clear assignment, writing student-friendly instructions, providing an example response, and designing a grading rubric. Then, we’ll explore how AI can assist in grading and giving feedback, making assessment more efficient without sacrificing quality. Through live demonstrations and practical examples, participants will see how small adjustments and AI integration can streamline their workflow. By the end, professors will leave with ready-to-use strategies to simplify assignment design and evaluation in their EMI courses.

Speaker:
Yu-Liang (Aldy) Chang 張宇樑 特聘教授 國立嘉義大學 教育學系
Description:
We are facing unprecedented challenges driven by accelerating globalization and rapid changes in technological development. Those forces provide us with myriad new opportunities for human betterment. Facing the uncertainty of the future and potential challenges, we as educators need to equip all students with 21st century skills. Brain-based teaching and learning is a contemporary educational approach that leverages our understanding of the brain’s functioning to inform curriculum and instructional design. This approach recognizes that each student’s brain is unique, so lessons should accommodate individual differences and needs. In this workshop, basic human brain’s functioning will be briefly introduced, which connects to how to create an enriched learning environment based on empirical brain-based research evidence that promotes all students’ 21st century skills.
