GE Area A1 Oral Communication Cooperative

Facilitators: Lee Ritscher

For Fall 2026, faculty scholars will be looking at our survey data that we collected in spring 2025 and then compile suggestions for improving oral communication instruction, and perhaps assessment, at ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog.

GE Area A2 Written Communication Cooperative

Facilitator: Kelly Medina-Lopez

For Fall of 2026, faculty scholars will turn to the survey data collected in Spring 2025 (as well as potentially re-launch survey to collect further data) and build out from there. The goal is to build a collection of Writing and AI faculty resources that might include: assignment ideas (AI free); sample prompts; lesson planning supports; time-saving workflows; classroom integration strategies; policies and guidelines.
