CTL EVENTS

Join CTL and the Library for a faculty panel exploring practical strategies to integrate generative AI tools into teaching practices. Panelists Lesley Baradel, Rodrigo Borela Valente, Moinak Choudhury, and Tatiana Rudchenko will explore ways AI can enhance student learning and lead to more effective instruction.

Recent updates to the LaTeX kernel have made it possible to make most standard documents more accessible for students with vision-related disabilities. During this workshop, we'll explore how accessible documents benefit all students, discuss some basic examples, and then learn how to enable the new features. 

This annual symposium celebrates educators forging high-quality distance teaching practices. Join us as we explore this year's theme: "Towards an Accessible Online Future." Can’t attend all day? No problem; attend the symposium sessions that work for you.

Join this multi-institutional community of practice on teaching with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)! Faculty at the University of Georgia, Kennesaw State University, and Auburn University will share examples from diverse disciplines that illustrate how to enhance teaching and learning by using the SDGs as a framework for real-world problem-solving.

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.
