- Design, Analysis, Reflection, and Feedback of Assessments (DARFA)
- SIMPLE Design Framework Group facilitated by Marc Muñiz

Such analysis can be used to improve exam item designs and inform the creation of targeted feedback to students such as Targeted Exam Talk-Throughs using PlayPosit
- Group for Independent Feedback on Teaching (GIFT)
- Peer Observation Group facilitated by: Phil Brown
- In this group, participants will meet to discuss current teaching strategies, and learn and implement new, low-barrier evidence-based practices within their course. Additionally, participants will have an opportunity to do pair-wise observations with a peer to give and receive feedback on their teaching.
- Values Affirmation Interventions (VAI)
- SIMPLE Design Framework Group facilitated by: Elin Wicks

Participants will learn the theory and motivation behind VAIs, and receive guidance in implementing a VAI
