Robert Hawley will lead the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning.

Each year, undergraduates nominate the graduate students who made the biggest difference in their learning, and this year DCAL recognized 12 of these graduate students for outstanding teaching.

In April, Josh Eyler joins us for an interactive session rethinking the role of grades in higher education. In May, Katherine Elkins presents "Beyond AI Literacy: What Higher Ed Is Getting Wrong About AI.

This month we're sharing strategies for the start of term, tips for promoting joy in the classroom, and looking at concerns posed by 'Homework Agents' (with an invitation to bring your questions to our Learning Design and Innovation team). We're also sharing registration links for Teaching & Learning's spring lineup: 14 workshops and programs — and counting — that give you time and space to explore engagement, equity, assessment, AI, and more with colleagues....

Ask faculty how they're handling generative AI (GenAI) in their courses and you'll hear responses ranging from deep experimentation to principled rejection—and everything in between. Answers also vary by discipline; an obvious pedagogical opportunity in one field can be a fundamental threat to learning goals in another. With many students using these tools and many professions now requiring proficiency, a number of faculty members are seeking support to build GenAI learning opportunities into their courses with a thoughtful lens.

In her recent visit, award-winning author and cultural critic Meghan O'Rourke explored with the Dartmouth community the rapidly evolving relationship between generative artificial intelligence, learning, creativity, and the art of writing.

In late October, we brought together students and faculty for a round table discussion about GenAI and Academic Integrity. For an hour...

We are pleased to announce that Jessica Maloney has joined DCAL as Communications and Marketing Coordinator!

Faculty and the Undergraduate Deans Office are ideal partners in ensuring students receive timely, meaningful, holistic support.
