Hello, Folks! I hope that you are doing well. Thank you to those who were able to attend today’s meeting. If you were not able to, I understand that many of you are on well-deserved vacations, and I hope you feel refreshed and rejuvenated when you return.
Due to my fall teaching schedule which unfortunately conflicts with our current meeting time, I ask that you please take the poll to determine a new time for our August 1-on-1 meeting and subsequent September weekly meetings (there will be four of them). I appreciate you juggling your personal/professional schedules, and hopefully one of those time slots will work for you or someone representing your team. Please take survey by Friday, August 9–> https://forms.gle/PnvZYnF5AgWTAzqG9

Today, I got a few updates from teams, but not all. So feel free to reach out with any updates, questions, or challenges you’re having. Since we had some time to chat, I shared with the group a few resources from OE Global, which you may already be familiar with. If not, some might be fun to check out and might be relevant to your textbook or instruction:
An AI Resource Library from University of Calgary. There’s lot of information on this page, but if you are considering implementing AI prompts in your textbook, there’s an AI Prompt Book linked out from this site as well.
Silly but also practical if you want examples of AI-generated ‘scholarly’ articles to show your students --these articles look the part but are not—the Lit Reviews include some hysterical elements. Here’s the Spurious Scholar.
Spurious research papers based on real correlations with p < 0.05, generated by a large language model.
Would you like to create your own artwork for your text? Krita is an open-source painting program.
H5P galore here and here. You might want to check these sites before creating something from scratch.
Create accessible figures and tables (unless there’s a specific use case like the Linguistics team )
Again, I know you already have many resources at your disposal. However, please do reach out if you are looking for a particular tool or resource, and I’d be happy to poke around!
Please take the quick survey, and I’ll see you next month. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
Take care,
Amy
