Transparency is a highly research-supported teaching and learning concept that demonstrates that explaining your reasons for why you do what you do in the classroom supports student learning. Theoretically, all of your assignments could benefit from the TILT framework to make the purpose and directions for your assignments more transparent.
But that sounds like a lot of work! It could be, so think about using generative AI to make the process of TILTing your assignments more efficient. Generative AI, like all tools, has pros and cons but here it can be used to partially automate a time-consuming task. It can also provide real-time feedback to improve the quality of your assignments.
To participate in a workshop that will focus on how to use generative AI to improve your assignment transparency, sign up for our workshop Transparent Teaching with AI. For more on how generative AI can impact your teaching, you can self-enroll in our “GenAI in the Classroom” modules, watch a Kaltura recording of our Faculty Showcase on how instructors are creatively using AI or to support teaching large enrollment courses, or watch a recording of a workshop on using social annotation (including alternatives to Hypothesis) to fact-check generative AI. Contact the CITL with questions or for a personal teaching consultation on how generative can improve your teaching and learning outcomes.
