Spring 2025 Workshops and Learning Communities
Introduction to Python
Generative AI for Creative Writing Learning Community
Dates and Times: First Meeting: Wednesday, January 29th, 2-3pm (approximately every other week following the first meeting)
Location: Digital Lab Classroom
Description: This group will engage in discussions about the ethics of generative AI in creative spaces, how to use iterative prompt engineering so AI is a collaborative tool rather than expecting the tools to produced refined results after one prompt, AI’s place in assisting an artist’s workflow, exploring how good AI is at creating “quality” art (music, literature, images, etc.), and more! The group is open to faculty, staff, and students who have interest in engaging in the creative writing process and thinking through ways to incorporate technology to help with the writing process. We welcome a variety of disciplines and feel free to join for any session you are available to attend! If interested, please fill out the form here.

Qualitative Data Analysis Tools Learning Community
Dates and Times: First Meeting: Thursday, February 6th, 12:30-1:30pm (approximately every other week following the first meeting)
Location: Digital Lab Classroom
Description: The goal of this group is to engage with individuals across the university interested in conducting qualitative data analysis and getting involved in learning about some of the tools such as NVivo and Dedoose that can be used to help conduct this type of analysis. We plan to focus on content analysis, thematic analysis, grounded theory, and narrative analysis, getting to discuss and learn the process of conducting these analyses and then having time to engage with sample data sets (or data sets relevant to your own research) to compare and contrast these tools. This community is open to faculty, staff, and students and we would appreciate seeing a diversity of academic fields and departments to bring a variety of opinions to the discussions. Feel free to attend any of the sessions that you would like. If interested, please fill out the form here.
