Thi s workshop will support you in developing the kinds of summative assessmen ts which align with your course learning outcomes and provide learning opp ortunities. In order to support both learning and motivation\, we’ll als o explore how to create authentic assessments which offer students choices and are presented transparently. \nBy the end of the workshop\, you shoul d be able to: \n-- Describe how summative and formative assessments differ \n-- Choose summative assessments which align course learning outcomes\n-- Apply the GRASPS framework to develop authentic assessments \n-- Describe ways to offer students choices in how they demonstrate their learning\n-- Explain strategies for creating more transparent assessments\n-- Analyze the benefits of applying these principles of assessment design\n\nWorkshop s in the Ten for Teaching series focus on essential classroom teaching ski lls. These workshops are aligned with the outcomes of the CTL’s Evidence -Based Teaching Certificate and support instructors in building the skills they need in order to earn the certificate. \n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: This work shop will run for one week (Mon-Fri) and is designed for you to spend 20-4 0 minutes per day (slightly different each day) engaging with workshop con tent and activities. You will receive an invitation to the Canvas course a few days before the start of the workshop. All content will be available from the start so that you can work at your own pace. \n---\nEvent Details : https://boisestate.campusgroups.com/rsvp?id=397121 LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T180711Z URL:https://events.boisestate.edu/event/ten-for-teaching-creating-summativ e-assessments-to-support-learning-asynchronous?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm _medium=ics&utm_campaign=boise-id X-SOURCE-NAME:Boise State University Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.boisestate.edu/extramile-arena-arena END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Social Impacts of Computing Workshop 2026 DTSTART:20260918T140000Z DTEND:20260918T230000Z DTSTAMP:20260827T002640Z UID:tag:localist.com\,2008:EventInstance_53295560610852 CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Cross-Sector Dialogue\, Collaborative Problem Solving\, and Ne w Partnerships\n\nJoin the Social Impacts of Computing (SioC) Workshop\nSe ptember 17-18 2026\n\nRegistration and schedule: https://www.boisestate.ed u/computing/partnerships-collaborations/social-impacts-of-computing/social -impacts-of-computing-workshop-2026/\n\nAI and computing technologies are rapidly changing how we learn\, work\, conduct research\, solve problems\, and serve communities.

Um\, I don’t know… Yet\, at Idaho National Laboratory we’re working to provably ensure that a human operator can override an autonomou s controller in a nuclear reactor. \n\nThis talk will lay out how this re search is about more than the provably correctness of a subsystem. It’s about finding hard research problems that people care about and will have distinctive impact. Join us in our conversation about artificial intellig ence\, human agency\, proofs\, nuclear energy\, and exciting research chal lenges.\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\nDr. Greg Shannon is a Laboratory Fellow and the Chief Cybersecurity Scientist for INL’s National and Homeland Security D irectorate. Protecting the nation’s critical infrastructure systems from an increasing array of cyber-physical threats requires a strategic approa ch to advancing scientific methods\, cultivating research initiatives\, me ntoring researchers\, and advancing national and international solutions. Greg joined the laboratory from Carnegie Mellon University having served a decade as the chief scientist for the CERT Division (originally the Compu ter Emergency Readiness Team) within the university’s Software Engineeri ng Institute. While in that role\, Greg served as the assistant director f or cybersecurity strategy at the White House Office of Science and Technol ogy Policy. Other stops in Greg’s career include the Cybersecurity Manuf acturing Innovation Institute (CyManII.org)\, the Department of the Air Fo rce Scientific Advisory Board\, a founding board member of the Women in Cy bersecurity (WiCyS.org) LLC\, the Department of Homeland Security\, Los Al amos National Laboratory\, Indiana University\, and private companies incl uding Lucent Technologies and startups. Greg received a BS in Computer Sci ence from Iowa State University\, earned a PhD in Computer Sciences at Pur due University\, and is a Senior Member of the IEEE professional society.

It takes an ecosystem of testing\, data\, processes\, and pe ople working together to ensure safety\, quality\, and reliability.\n\nDra wing on more than a decade of experience in mechanical engineering\, biome dical testing\, and regulated product development\, Jonathan Henderson wil l share real-world lessons from his career and explore the engineering dis ciplines that support successful medical devices. The presentation will hi ghlight how mechanical testing\, laboratory software\, data analysis\, val idation\, documentation\, risk-based decision-making\, and process improve ment help create technologies people can trust.\n\nStudents will gain insi ght into the often-overlooked engineering work beyond device design and le arn how curiosity\, adaptability\, collaboration\, and technical rigor can shape a career. Whether interested in product design\, testing\, research \, biomechanics\, software\, or quality engineering\, students will gain p ractical perspectives on the many pathways available within mechanical and biomedical engineering.

In t his half-day session\, you'll explore a course-specific data report and a new dashboard which disaggregate course outcomes data to see how outcomes in your course break down by student group — e.g.\, first-generation sta tus\, transfer status\, academic level\, and more. After a short framing t o set up the data exploration\, you'll dive into your own data\, discuss p atterns with colleagues\, and reflect on why different groups of students might be experiencing your course differently — and what you might do ab out it.\n\nThis session is an opportunity to practice reflective teaching — using evidence from your own course so that you can identify concrete ways to improve students’ experiences. Departmental teams are welcome to attend together if you'd like to examine a shared course collaboratively. \n\nBefore you register: have a specific course in mind that you've taught at least twice in the last five years — you'll be asked to identify it during registration.\n\nParticipants receive a $100 stipend.\n---\nEvent D etails: https://boisestate.campusgroups.com/rsvp?id=398119 LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T002606Z LOCATION:Sign in to download the location URL:https://events.boisestate.edu/event/course-outcomes-data-summit?utm_so urce=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=boise-id X-SOURCE-NAME:Boise State University Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://events.boisestate.edu/extramile-arena-arena END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
