Dorcas Miroslava Carvajal Conde Discussion Comment Why Ethics Matter in AI | Origin: ED161 One of the key things I learned about AI ethics is that AI can sometimes reflect biases found in the data it is trained on. This is why it is so important to use AI responsibly, especially in educational and professional settings. Ethics matter because the information, recommendations, and decisions generated by AI can influence people's opportunities, learning experiences, and trust in the technology. As AI becomes more common in our daily lives, understanding these ethical considerations is becoming increasingly important.

It's extremely vital to follow all polices pertaining student records. Being consistent across the board and continuously practicing good practices increases student customer service and satisfaction.

To become a great instructor you must understand that teaching is not about the amount of knowledge you know, but about how you can help others learn. Each student has a different way of learning by creating an environment where questions are open and mistakes are seen as growth and confident.

Preparation Is power

Alicia Gerald — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 09:29:00 -0400

Your emergency isn't the emergency for someone else if you failed to plan. That works for the students as well as the instructor. Life happens and there will always be the unexpected but creating and executing a lesson plan are two different things. When we create a lesson plan and breakdown our rationale and procedure that help to mitigate the in ability to recover from the unexpected. So having a plan allows you to have the ability to remain flexible and recover quickly when things happen.

Action Plan

Hello,

I plan to review assessment and evaluation strategies in my courses. It is a good idea to group those students who accomplish certain content and look for opportunities for AI to fill in any gaps or learning needs based on the rubric and evaluation criteria.

My thoughts!!

Tara Savino — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 13:01:04 -0400

Through this training, I gained a better understanding of how to support students with diverse learning needs by recognizing their strengths, challenges, and individual accommodations. I learned the importance of providing clear expectations, structured support, and multiple opportunities for success while maintaining accountability. In my workplace, I will apply these strategies by consistently implementing accommodations, communicating clearly, and closely monitoring student progress. My goal is to help students build independence and confidence while ensuring they have the support needed to achieve their academic and career goals.

Best Practices

Harpreet Dhir — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 01:12:20 -0400

Designing an effective online instruction requires four main considerations:

Synchronous Engagement: Meeting remotely via an online meeting platform like Zoom or Teams can pose challenges to engagement. Students are not mandated to have cameras on which raises concerns of engagement. The way I manage this obstacle is by integrating Breakout Rooms where students meet in small groups and they report back to the whole group. I also utilize Google forms or Google slides for groups to collaborate to complete a task. Sometimes, I do call on students to share when the question is non-threatening such as- What is your topic of interest for writing the upcoming paper?

Engagement through Feedback: Providing detailed feedback is important for students to meet objectives. Feedback includes specific critique, recommendations, examples, links to resources as well as ratings using a rubric.

Engagement through General Communication: Timely communication via email or Canvas Inbox is instrumental to managing instructor's and student's time related to teaching and learning. A time during the day needs to be set aside which is dedicated to guiding students by responding to their inquiries. Communication also can be initiated by instructor to send group announcements or individual messages regarding grades and supports available.

Compassionate Engagement: It is important to remember that many students are dealing with challenges as they might be working multiple jobs, taking care of families, and dealing with other personal challenges. Based on specific cases and situations, it is ok to provide support in form of time extension or scaffolds such as meeting with student individually to provide guidance.
