The Targeted Teaching Transformation (T3) program is open to any Penn State instructor(s) of record, working as individuals or in small groups. The T3 program pairs you with an expert coach, who will work with you to identify and meet your teaching transformation goals. You will receive up to 10 hours of individual, one-on-one coaching (in person and virtual sessions available) you schedule at your convenience over the summer. You will have access to a host of T3 resources. You will receive a certificate of completion suitable for inclusion in your Faculty Activity Report. Instructors will apply through a short online form. Application deadline is May 13, 2024. Priority will be given to instructors designing courses to be taught during the 2024-25 academic year. Accepted participants will be notified by May 17, 2024.

Some examples of goals you could achieve through the T3 program are: adopting alternate forms of grading, planning to teach in a different modality, redesigning assignments, redesigning a course you inherited to make it your own, redesigning your course for more students, and much more.

The University Academic Integrity Leadership Community (UAILC) invites you to a panel discussion of document falsification in the era of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence policies largely focus on cheating and plagiarism. Generative technologies have also made it faster and simpler to forge accommodation letters or craft fake messages from health professionals or university personnel, making it even more challenging for instructors to respond to such violations.

Our panelists represent diverse university units, including disability services, student accountability and conduct resolution, ethics and compliance, and faculty and administration. We look forward to a conversation that will address the legal and ethical challenges these tools create. Together, we will discuss the changing landscape, share best practices, and consider future recommendations for the University to safeguard academic integrity, which is a core Penn State value.

This panel is kindly supported by the Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence (SITE). Attendance is offered both in person at Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library, University Park and in Zoom. The Zoom link will be shared with remote attendees via Penn State email at least one hour before the event. For planning purposes, please select your preferred means of attendance by Friday, May 24, 2024.
