About the Lab
Elevate your assessment with progressive rubrics emphasizing student achievement rather than areas for improvement. This hands-on workshop will guide you in using AI to create rubrics that inspire and motivate students by providing clear, structured pathways for growth. Participants will explore key concepts, collaborate on rubric creation using AI and their course materials, and refine drafts with peer feedback. The session will include interactive discussions, practical work time, and opportunities to share progress.
Learning Outcomes
With the support of AI tools and peer collaboration, participants will create a draft rubric using progressive criteria to clearly define student growth and mastery.

About the Session
Do you want to create a learning environment that considers the diverse lived experiences of your students? In this three-hour Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) Lab session, we will start by exploring current frameworks for course design (such as Universal Design for Learning and quality assurance) and determine what is “missing” with these frameworks from an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) perspective. We will then explore at least two different approaches to incorporate principles of EDI into the course design and development process. We will conclude with space for critical reflection and co-creation of strategies for implementing these changes. 
This session will be beneficial for anyone who is interested in moving away from the status quo in course design and becoming an agent of change!
Please note: This session will not be recorded. Registrants should plan to attend the full three hours for an optimal learning experience.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Explain shortcomings of existing approaches or frameworks to course design from an EDI perspective
- Discuss the challenges they may encounter in their current course design process from an individual, interpersonal, and institutional perspective, and how to overcome them
- Reflect on how to apply a critical, collaborative and wholistic approach to their course design and development process
