OneHE: PAIRR Method
Let’s boost our ability to support students’ critical thinking and writing by exploring the PAIRR (Peer & AI Review + Reflection) method. This innovative approach helps us guide students in using both peer and AI feedback to enhance their work, making it suitable for everything from first-year composition to advanced disciplinary courses. An example is to start with class discussions on AI and language equity, then have students peer review each other’s drafts, prompt an AI tool (like ChatGPT or Claude) for additional feedback, and finally reflect on both types before revising. Register today and get ready to discover new ideas for implementing this approach.

TLA: A Conversation w/ Dr. Beverly Tatum
In our current national climate, where discourse around belonging and identity is often fraught with tension, it is an honor to welcome Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum—a distinguished psychologist, president emerita of Spelman College, and the author of the seminal text Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? We gather at a uniquely polarizing moment in US history, a time when the very act of discussing race and other identities can feel like navigating a minefield of divisiveness, defensiveness, and fear. Join us as we talk about ways to meet this moment that humanizes everyone and creates schools where all our students experience belonging.

OneHE: Uses and Abuses
These days, “AI agent” sometimes refers to a custom chatbot and sometimes to an agentic AI browser that will take actions on the user’s behalf, like clicking and filling out forms autonomously. In this webinar, Anna Mills, English Instructor, College of Marin, USA, will clarify how students might be using agentic AI browsers to automate homework completion and what can be done about that, and will look at ways educators might consider using them to assist their teaching without jeopardizing student data.
