CADRE Learning Series: Ethical Use of AI in STEM Education Research (Webinar)
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have changed the role of AI in education research. How do we navigate these changes ethically in our research and proposal writing? What questions should we be considering as education researchers? Join us on May 15 to hear from authors of an upcoming CADRE brief titled Towards Ethical and Just AI in Education Research to learn and discuss strategies to ethically navigating AI in education research.
Moderator: Ilana Horn, Vanderbilt University; Panelists: Tiffany Barnes, North Carolina State University, Joshua Danish, Indiana University, Samantha Finkelstein, Carnegie Mellon University, and Ole Molvig, Vanderbilt University
Implementing the Common Forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support (Webinar)
Please join us on Thursday April 25th at 2:00 PM EST for a webinar covering NSF’s implementation of the National Science and Technology Council-approved Common Forms for the Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support.
This session will cover the policy behind NSF’s implementation in the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 24-1). In addition, our colleagues from NIH/National Library of Medicine will provide a demonstration of the revised capability to create and download these required proposal documents in SciENcv.
The Ethics of Developing Therapeutics for Rare Diseases (Zoom)
One of the most exciting promises of cell and gene therapies is their potential to tailor treatment to individuals and thus improve the lives of those with rare diseases. However, developing these therapeutics blur the traditional line between treatment and research and therefore invite a number of important ethical questions. This panel will ask: How should we think about the development of these novel medical interventions—are they research or treatment? How should the development of such individual therapeutics be regulated? How can we work towards equitable access to these exciting new interventions?

QualLab Lunchtime Lecture Series: Learning to Escape: Noticing Knowing through (Mis)Reading and Recalibrating the Body in Play (Zoom)
Dr. Jon Wargo
Associate Professor, University of Michigan
Games are not only forms of documentation, communication, and expression but critical sites and technologies for learning. Indeed, as recent research illustrates, games not only further the development of domain-specific knowledge but also provide the designed constraints – analog or digital – rendered necessary to learn specific practices and embody ways of being. Moving beyond the content/context divide, this presentation brings together methodological insights from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis with theoretical concepts and tools from distributed cognition and game studies to reimagine what learning looks like in the peripheries of play. More specifically, it examines how an immersive escape room’s designed landscape and environment served as mediational resources that fostered and advanced consequential learning for players to “claim” and “exhibit” escape.
