This year's Transformative Teaching and Learning Innovation Incubator grants are focused on community-based learning, a high-impact practice that integrates classroom instruction with meaningful community engagement. Two of the projects were recently highlighted: Leandro Miletto Tonetto's course on designing for dignity and Christie Stewart and Lesley Baradel's course on strategies for well-being and resilience. Learn more about the work they're doing to fulfill Tech's mission to develop leaders who improve the human condition.

CTL EVENTS

We'll discuss how Generative AI tools can support Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in higher education. Whether you're new to UDL or experimenting with AI in your teaching, this collaborative conversation will offer ideas for enhancing access, representation, motivation, and flexibility in your course.

Join us for an epic journey as we navigate course design and delivery in Canvas during this two-day, gamified workshop. With the Canvas Course Template as your guide, you’ll begin building a course site that utilizes Canvas to its maximum potential, easing your teaching burdens and better supporting student learning.

Join us for a guided conversation about teaching in the age of Generative AI this past semester. We’ll reflect on what worked best, what surprised you, and what challenged you. Together, we’ll discuss experiences, compare notes with colleagues, and leave with fresh ideas and strategies for the spring semester.

TECH CONNECTS

Exams are an important tool for summative assessment, but often create stress for students and administrative burden for faculty. In this College of Computing talk, Craig Zilles from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will discuss the benefits of frequent testing and "second-chance testing," patterns of cheating on unproctored online assessments, and how his team has reduced instructor workload through their Computer-Based Testing Facility.

Join AI-ALOE for an interactive research showcase bringing together researchers, educators, and innovators to explore the latest breakthroughs in AI for learning and education. CTL's Executive Director, Laura Carruth, will speak during the AI in Higher Education panel.

Join C21U for a Learning Lab led by visiting research scholar Sanghyun Jang. This talk will explore how AI can serve as a proactive partner, driving sustainability, creativity, collaboration, and institutional excellence. The discussion will underscore the importance of responsible data collection, analysis, and privacy protection.
