 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
