061026 GFG Event Banner (4).png
The July GFG Assignment Redesign Cohort begins 6 July 2026. The Google Faculty Group Assignment Redesign Cohort is a professional development experience designed to help higher education faculty rethink classroom activities using learning science and modern tools, such as AI, to lower the threat of cognitive off-loading and improve relevance and engagement. All tools used throughout the four-week cohort will leverage Google's no-cost offerings. The experience is structured into four modules: Module 1: Shifting the Conversation: Participants explore challenges in 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 and GRASPS frameworks to restructure an old assignment. Module 3: Stress Testing: Participants "stress test" their rough drafts through a "Council of Critics" and explore how Gemini and other instructional design elements can enhance their work. Module 4: Final Presentation: The cohort concludes with 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 Group 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.gle/P2EVxaG25se2eaVG8

GFG Events: Navigating Academic Freedom and AI Guidance
061026 GFG Event Banner (4).png
  About the Event As artificial intelligence reshapes the educational landscape, universities face a difficult tension. On one hand, institutions must provide clear, cohesive guidance to maintain academic integrity and protect the value of a degree. On the other, the cornerstone of higher education is academic freedom—the right of individual professors to determine the pedagogy, tools, and philosophy that best suit their discipline. This 45-minute webinar tackles this delicate balancing act head-on. We will discuss how academic leaders and faculty senates can establish flexible, institution-wide frameworks that protect and support students without micromanaging the classroom. Join us to explore collaborative models of governance that empower instructors to innovate with AI on their own terms while maintaining shared institutional standards.
