GenAI Tools Workshop - Developing Students' Critical Thinking Skills Using Google NotebookLM

Time Wed 6/3 • 1PM - 2PM PDT RSVP

Join UCLA TLC's Instructional Designers in the GenAI Tools Workshop Series. For this Zoom workshop, instructors will explore how Google NotebookLM, an AI-powered notebook designed to help users organize, synthesize, and generate insights, can be used to enhance teaching and learning. During the workshop, we will explore and discuss: -How GenAI tools like Google NotebookLM can support critical thinking and inquiry-based learning. -Strategies for designing learning activities that prompt students to analyze, evaluate, and question AI-generated content. -Examples of how NotebookLM can be integrated into assignments that foster deeper reasoning and reflection. -Methods for guiding students to critique AI outputs for accuracy, bias, and logic. -Best practices for aligning AI use with learning outcomes and institutional academic integrity standards. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: -Explain how Google NotebookLM can be used to support and scaffold students’ critical thinking and metacognitive skills. -Design AI-enhanced learning activities or assignments that require students to analyze, evaluate, and revise AI-generated content. -Model strategies for helping students question assumptions, identify bias, and assess evidence in AI responses. -Integrate NotebookLM into classroom practices that promote reflection, argumentation, and evidence-based reasoning. -Formulate guidelines for responsible and ethical AI use that maintain academic integrity while fostering critical inquiry. Instructors who complete all three workshops in this series will be eligible to receive $500 in seed funds for AI tool licensing and further experimentation with AI in teaching and learning.

Oscar Wilde's Modernist Legacies

Time Fri 6/5 • 9AM - Sat 6/6 • 12:30PM PDT

William Andrews Clark Memorial Library

A central figure in the literary and cultural spheres of the late nineteenth century, Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was also the originator of Irish modernism. Still, literary scholarship has largely sidelined his powerful influence over this movement. Regarded by his contemporaries as an outstanding artist, critic, and public intellectual until his imprisonment in 1895, current research on Wilde tends to confine his leading presence within the late Victorian aesthetic and decadent movements. By highlighting this overlooked aspect of Wilde’s legacy, “Oscar Wilde’s Modernist Legacies” will raise critical and theoretical awareness of his influence over modernist innovation not only within the field of literary production but also in related artistic areas in Ireland and beyond.
