SUMMARY:Assessing the Writing Process: From Conferencing to Clarity
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all instructors and graduate students interested in process-based assessment and emerging tools for writing instruction.\nHow do we meaningfully assess not just what students write\, but how they write? Join us for a one-hour Zoom workshop exploring approaches to evaluating the writing process (part of our ongoing Humanizing Technology Series)\nWe’ll open with a conversation featuring Christine Holten and Laurel Westrup (Writing Programs) on established methods for making the writing process visible and assessable\, including conferencing\, writer’s memos\, and other strategies\, moderated by Emma Ridder (HumTech). From there\, we’ll shift to emerging tools\, where Andrew Jessup (DTS\, BruinLearn Center of Excellence) will introduce Turnitin Clarity and the insights it offers into student writing behaviors. Finally\, Darrien Battle (Writing Programs)\, who is currently piloting Clarity in their composition course\, will share how they’re incorporating that data into assessment and teaching. \nPlease RSVP via this link

SUMMARY:IALLT Webinar - Beyond Generic AI: Custom Tools for Beginner Language Learning
DESCRIPTION:This webinar presents practical lessons from developing and implementing three custom AI tools—AI-migo\, XiSPA\, and TAR-íA—designed for lower-level Spanish learners at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) to address limited exposure outside the classroom and a lack of adapted practice materials. Drawing on experience from SPA001\, an entry-level module serving over 700 students annually\, the session illustrates how these tools provide scalable\, level-appropriate support\, formative feedback\, guided conversational practice\, and automated activity generation.\nThe presentation addresses practical challenges in designing AI tools for beginner language learners and outlines specific implementation considerations. Language educators interested in moving beyond generic AI tools to develop targeted solutions will find practical approaches that may be transferable to other languages and proficiency levels. \n\nDate: March 19\, 2026\nTime: 7 pm Eastern / 6 pm Central / 5 pm Mountain / 4 pm Pacific\nPresenter: Raul Getino Diez and Mikel García\nRegister here\n\nHosted by the International Association for Language Learning Technology (https://iallt.org/)

SUMMARY:Teaching for Thinking
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third and final session of our Critical Thinking Focused Teaching Workshop\, hosted by the University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project (UQCTP) and sponsored by the UCLA Department of Philosophy and HumTech. \nThis session challenges the false dichotomy of teaching for thinking and teaching for content knowledge. We will show that developing deep and complex content knowledge demands attention to how students think\, both as they are learning and in how they are using and creating new knowledge. The extent to which we value explicit teaching must carry into the explicit teaching of thinking\, and the language and concepts of how this is best done are critical for effective pedagogical discussions.  A range of concepts and tools will be discussed that demonstrate practical guides to putting key principles of teaching for thinking into action. \nLunch will be provided to allow for informal conversation\, networking\, and deeper reflection on these practices. \nSpace is limited. Please RSVP.

SUMMARY:Thinking\, Talking and Writing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second session of our Critical Thinking Focused Teaching Workshop\, hosted by the University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project (UQCTP) and sponsored by the UCLA Department of Philosophy and HumTech. \nIn this session\, we will explore a thinking and talk-based writing pedagogy that is transferable to any discipline and year level. Based on a schematic understanding of Accountable Talk (Michaels et al. 2015)\, argument structure\, and the values of inquiry (Ellerton\, 2015)\, we will unpack the significance and utility of these tools\, both as stand-alone elements and as integrated components of a comprehensive writing pedagogy. \nParticipants will have the opportunity to think through and share how they might integrate more critical and collaborative thinking into writing experiences. \nAs with our first session\, lunch will be provided to allow for informal conversation\, networking\, and deeper reflection on these practices. \nSpace is limited. Please RSVP.

SUMMARY:Assessing for thinking in an age of AI – the Cognitive Audit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the inaugural session of our Critical Thinking Focused Teaching Workshop\, hosted by the University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project (UQCTP) and sponsored by the UCLA Department of Philosophy and HumTech. \nA key challenge for teachers is planning and assessing student thinking with the same precision and intentionality applied to content knowledge. This issue becomes particularly significant when addressing student engagement with AI. In this session\, we will explore how to make the cognitive content of tasks and assessments\, especially in argumentative contexts\, explicit and targeted during both the planning and evaluation stages. \nParticipants will receive a variety of resources designed to make the processes of planning and assessing thinking transparent\, actionable\, and easily shareable across all subject areas. Additionally\, lunch will be provided to all attendees\, allowing you to network and discuss insights with fellow educators over a meal. \nSpace is limited\, please RSVP\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:UC Data Week - Visualizing Islamic Manuscripts data at UCLA Library
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Saad Shaukat (UCLA) \nUCLA library holds one of the largest collections of Islamic manuscripts (roughly 10\,000 items) covering multiple languages including Arabic\, Persian\, Turkish\, and Urdu\, and spanning nearly 9 centuries (12th-20th). Currently\, UCLA Library Special Collections is in the process of a multi-year effort to create digital records for its Islamic Manuscript holdings. At HumTech\, our team is engaged in a project to visualize the cataloged manuscripts through Tableau. The goal of this project is to represent a birds eye view of the Islamic manuscript holdings for interested researchers. Through representation of multiple data points that the library cataloging process captured from the manuscripts\, the visualization hopes to provide easy access to researchers for dissecting the data in multiple ways and helping them in drawing useful insights into the Islamic manuscript holdings at UCLA. In this presentation\, we will be discussing the challenges that we faced in data cleaning\, wrangling and visualization that are specific to manuscript collections\, especially one that is primarily in non-Latin script and spans to the pre-modern period. \nRegistration Required

SUMMARY:UC Data Week - Sharing and Locating Research Data in Humanities and Social Science Studies
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tianji Jiang (UCLA) \nSharing and reusing data can effectively reduce redundant efforts in data collection. It also enhances the efficiency of scientific research investments by preventing the reinvention of the wheel. Building a sustainable data-reuse process and culture requires frameworks that include policies\, standards\, roles\, and responsibilities\, all of which must address the diverse needs of data providers\, curators\, and (re)users alike. A critical step in the data sharing and (re)use cycle involves researchers depositing their research data into data-sharing infrastructures\, keeping their data in a sharable and usable form\, making other researchers aware of their data\, and identifying data that are (re)usable for their needs. In this session\, I aim to introduce some ideas and techniques for preparing research data for sharing. I will also introduce 2 to 3 data repositories ideal for researchers depositing their data and seeking (re)usable data for their studies. Additionally\, I will offer several tips and strategies for identifying and utilizing (re)usable data effectively. The session is structured to last approximately 50 minutes\, comprising a 40-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer segment. \nRegistration Required
