With this issue, we encourage you to take a quick break and read on, to contemplate what’s shared and allow yourself a moment. This month, we’re acknowledging Autism Acceptance month with tips on how to build acceptance into your courses, and also we’re discussing alternative grading. Learn a new Canvas skill by using Learning Outcomes in Canvas. And, let’s stop and take the pulse on GenAI at ÍøÆسԹÏ. Thank you for taking the time to check out Connections with CTLD #15!

Taking the Pulse on GenAI at ÍøÆسԹÏ
This spring, ChatGPT “graduates,” meaning there might be a student that used generative AI in every course of their 4-year ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï career. At a recent workshop, 150 faculty and staff answered questions about our GenAI future, and the results are interesting. Where do we agree? Who’s responsible for change? And why does the scope of the problem so outpace our response?

What Exactly is Alternative Grading?

But what do these methods really do that is so different? This post outlines four pillars of alternative grading.Â

Accepting Students with Autism
Most people are aware of autism, but awareness is not the same as acceptance. This is why Autistic self-advocates around the world encourage people to celebrate Autism Acceptance Month. This April, join the IAG in recognizing Autism Acceptance Month by refreshing your understanding of Autism, enhancing your practice for accepting Autistic students, and exploring resources made by Autistic people. Â
