This is a free event, but seats may be limited.
As AI and misinformation reshape how students encounter science, helping them move from memorization to meaningful understanding has never been more urgent. This webinar explores practical ways to use authentic assessment, systems thinking, and metacognitive strategies to strengthen students’ scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and confidence—so they can evaluate evidence, see connections, and engage with uncertainty like real scientists across STEM disciplines.

Dr. Amanda Norbutus teaches Chemistry at Valencia College, where she creates dynamic learning experiences combining Achieve’s interactive tools with reflection and application. She uses Achieve for pre-lecture assessments, adaptive quizzing through LearningCurve, interactive worksheets, and student self-reflection surveys. Dr. Norbutus emphasizes hands-on experimentation and critical thinking to help students connect course content to daily life. Her approachable, structured teaching style makes chemistry both accessible and inspiring.
As a Teaching Professor, Dr. Justin Shaffer is dedicated to providing undergraduates with the best possible educational and classroom experience while studying how students learn science and engineering. His teaching philosophy centers on inspiring students to appreciate and engage with these fields, recognizing that excitement and curiosity fuel deeper understanding, critical thinking, and future success. For those already passionate about science and engineering, he strives to nurture that enthusiasm and help students grow into the scientists, engineers, doctors, and researchers of tomorrow—perhaps even inspiring someone who will one day make groundbreaking discoveries.
Dr. Lisa Blue is an Instructional Specialist focused on STEM-H Teaching & Learning in the Faculty Center for Teaching & Learning at Eastern Kentucky University. A St. Louis native, Dr. Blue holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry from Missouri State University and a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the University of Kentucky. Dr. Blue left a postdoctoral position in the Department of Energy, Environmental, and Chemical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis to join a Lexington start-up, Covalent Research Technologies, as the Director of Research and Development where she worked with industry partners to capture mercury, arsenic, and problematic heavy metals from industrial and mining wastewater effluents. While at Covalent, Dr. Blue returned to teaching part-time as an outlet to share her passion for understanding our natural world. When the start-up company was shuttered in 2012, Dr. Blue joined the University of Kentucky full-time where she taught large General Chemistry lecture courses while supervising the work of graduate students staffing the department’s General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry Learning Centers. In 2021, Dr. Blue joined EKU as the Associate Director of the Center for STEM Excellence before transitioning to her current role in 2023.
