This annual event showcases ways that technology can be used to enhance teaching, learning, and research. The intent is give faculty and staff the opportunity to share how they are using technology in unique ways, network with other colleagues, and generate new project ideas. More information and event details can be found on the TLT Symposium Website.
Thank you our Blue Sponsor, Top Hat. Your support for the TLT Symposium is appreciated.
Donate to the Lion’s Pantry! This year the TLT Symposium is again providing an opportunity for attendees to support the UN Sustainable Development Goal, Zero Hunger by donating items to the Lion’s Pantry. Items can be dropped off throughout the day at the Symposium.
This session explores the implementation of generative AI in CHEM 110H, an honors general chemistry course, through AI-integrated assessments aimed at enhancing metacognitive skills and conceptual understanding. We’ll present evidence of improved learning outcomes and share assessment tools that positively impacted student attitudes toward and usage of AI. Through interactive polling and a brief workshop segment, attendees will explore how these assessments can be adapted for diverse disciplines, envisioning practical AI-based enhancements for their own classrooms.
This session explores creating effective, adaptable syllabi that support faculty and students in evolving educational landscapes. Our team at the College of IST is developing a “Policy Playbook”—a digital resource of best practices and strategies from faculty across the College—to foster more inclusive and transparent course design. We will present data-driven methods for identifying and addressing common policy challenges, emphasizing instructional technologies like TopHat, Canvas, and Generative AI. Participants will engage through live discussions, polls, and exercises, gaining practical tools and templates to draft syllabi that promote inclusion, transparency, and collaboration across departments.
This session explores the power of AI-driven microlearning to boost student engagement in university settings. In response to declining attendance and reduced engagement post-COVID, microlearning breaks down complex topics into digestible, interactive elements like quizzes, flashcards, and scenarios. We will demonstrate how AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, streamline content creation for educators, allowing seamless updates and customization. Through live demonstrations, interactive polls, and group discussions, participants will gain hands-on experience with AI-generated microlearning materials, leaving them with practical insights for enhancing their teaching. Join us to discover a transformative approach to making learning more dynamic and accessible.
This session presents a case study in hybrid course design for a intro to creative writing class for non-majors, focusing on sustaining engagement and addressing motivational challenges in general education. Moving beyond the workshop model, the course centers on collaborative anthology creation, integrating scaffolded, project-based learning with digital tools (Perusall, Thinglink, Google Sites) to foster narrative skills and digital storytelling. Attendees will explore effective digital tools and practical insights into cultivating creativity and collaboration in blended courses, alongside candid reflections on the course's evolution and challenges, supported by student work examples.
