Stress is the enemy of learning and our students are stressed. Multitasking, Instagramming, and TikToking are all stress inducers. It’s actually a physiological reality that if we are stressed and anxious, for whatever reasons, our brains head in the wrong direction. We’ll review the neurobiological basics of why; look at ways faculty can help students understand how stress and anxiety impact thinking, learning, decision making and memory; and discuss what we can do to mitigate its effects for both our students and ourselves.

Students need to feel they belong in your classroom. Learn some basic ways, including simple teaching methods, to help your students feel supported, seen and heard. We’ll discuss how faculty can cultivate learning environments where all students, regardless of economic, ethnic, racial, gender, religious backgrounds and abilities feel respected, valued, supported and, most importantly for their learning, feel present and engaged.

We live in challenging times. Now more than ever, classroom and teacher-student dynamics can be easily disrupted, even permanently damaged, and sometimes you don’t even know why. Understand some of the ways in which things can go wrong. Learn how to set the stage for effective faculty-student and student-student communication and interaction. Learn methods to create a more supportive environment that promotes student learning. This session is a blend of presentation and group interaction and offers an introduction to a number of topics that should invite further exploration.

Universal Design for Learning is an approach to accessibility that supports all students, regardless of their abilities. It doesn’t require a student who needs an accommodation to ask for it and it’s more inclusive of all students’ learning needs. We’ll review the basics of universal design for learning and then discuss how faculty can add “just one thing” to begin to make their courses more accessible over time. This “plus one” approach increases inclusivity and makes courses more learner friendly.
with Maya Georgieva, Senior Director Innovation Center
In this session, educators will explore the challenges and opportunities of AI detection in educational settings. We'll examine the effectiveness and limitations of current solutions and discuss ethical considerations, focusing on strategies to identify AI-generated content.
with Maya Georgieva, Senior Director Innovation Center and Julia Daser, Research Assistant, Innovation Center, AI Lab
This week's AI workshop will add another AI image generator to our repertoire: Stable Diffusion. We will discuss the distinctive benefits of this generative AI, including its public and free code that facilitate greater control and experimentation. To conclude our exploration of AI image generation, we'll also compare Stable Diffusion, Midjourney and Dall-E.
with Clint Mixon, Information Security Lead, and Blanche Stovall, Privacy Lead, Office of Information Technology
This session will address some of the most pressing issues today in data security and privacy. Learn about how to protect your and others’ privacy and data security when using generative AI or other online applications.
With Maya Georgieva, Senior Director Innovation Center
The rapid acceleration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is reshaping various sectors, and higher education is no exception. While AI offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing teaching, learning, and research, it also raises pressing ethical questions that require urgent attention. This interactive workshop aims to explore the ethical dimensions of AI in higher education, focusing on critical issues like privacy, fairness, inclusivity, and authentic learning experiences.
