The Human-Heart of the Feedback Process in the World of AI (34 min) | Transcript [.docx] | Slides [PDF]
July 2026
Lauren Dana, Emily Haagenson
The third in the 2026 Picnic PD series, this workshop emphasized that grading and feedback are deeply human acts rooted in judgment, care, and expertise. While generative artificial intelligence (AI) can help streamline and improve parts of the process, it should support, not replace, the thoughtful, motivating, and impactful human-to-human interaction that students need to grow as the future of public health. Through discussion of different types of feedback and practical tips for AI integration, attendees explored how to preserve the human heart of feedback and how generative AI can be used as an assistant, collaborator, amplifier to improve the feedback process.

In this workshop recording, we discussed why student feedback is essential to the course revision cycle and then shared a method for analyzing qualitative student course evaluations. We practiced applying this method in a guided hands-on activity to identify actionable items for proposed course revisions. Follow along with the included worksheet [.doc]. You'll finish the session with a clear path forward on how you can improve your course and ultimately improve the learning experience for you and your students.

February 2026
David Dowdy, Executive Vice Dean for Academic Affairs; Brian Klaas, Director, Center for Teaching and Learning
At the time of this session, CTL had recently added a new tool to CoursePlus called Assignment Assistant. The tool is designed to support faculty in designing and improving their assignments using generative AI through four distinct tasks:
Creating grading rubrics from existing assignment descriptions
Providing feedback on existing assignment instructions and practicality
Brainstorming ideas for new assignments
Generating ideas for making an existing assignment more resistant to student use of generative AI to complete the assignment
Watch this recording to see this new tool demonstrated and discussed.

HopGPT as a Concierge Service to Promote and Support Learners’ Agency in Building Knowledge (38 min) | Slides [PDF] | Transcript [.docx] | Activities [.docx] | Learn More (Extended Info) [.docx]
July 2026
Celine Greene
The second in the 2026 Picnic PD series, this workshop discussed how generative artificial intelligence (AI) -- specifically HopGPT, the university’s secure platform - might be used to collaborate to help guide students in their self directed learning. Capitalizing on students as individuals with personal learning styles, strengths, and goals, we developed structured chat prompts that could be used by anyone. The prompts were saved in HopGPT with open-ended variable placeholders for these personalized interests. In addition to serving students, the structured prompts can serve as models for personal or classroom use.
