 c-p/282380#M42\n\nThe August GFG Assignment Redesign Cohort begins 4 Augus
 t 2026. The Google Faculty Group Assignment Redesign Cohort is a professio
 nal development experience designed to help higher education faculty rethi
 nk classroom activities using learning science and modern tools\, such as 
 AI\, to lower the threat of cognitive off-loading and improve relevance an
 d engagement. All tools used throughout the four-week cohort will leverage
  Google's no-cost offerings. The experience is structured into four module
 s:  Module 1: Shifting the Conversation: Participants explore challenges i
 n assessment and use the ICAP framework to audit their current assignments
 . The focus is on moving from "how to stop cheating" to "how to facilitate
  learning". Module 2: Instructional Design Frameworks: Faculty use TILT an
 d GRASPS frameworks to restructure an old assignment. Module 3: Stress Tes
 ting: Participants "stress test" their rough drafts through a "Council of 
 Critics" and explore how Gemini and other instructional design elements ca
 n enhance their work. Module 4: Final Presentation: The cohort concludes w
 ith the presentation of the final redesigned assignments\, peer feedback\,
  and a reflection on the process. Key Resources & Tools:  Frameworks: ICAP
 \, TILT\, and GRASPS. Tools: NotebookLM for managing resources and Gemini 
 for instructional design assistance. Community: A closed Google Faculty Gr
 oup and the Curriculum Resources space for sharing final work. The program
  is designed for international accessibility\, offering support across 38 
 languages. Cost: Free Space is limited\, apply now here --> https://forms.
