An inclusive course design requires attention to the selection of course materials, your teaching methods, and the ways you ask students to demonstrate their learning. In this interactive workshop, we will provide strategies for building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive course using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a framework that empowers students from diverse backgrounds to actively participate in their courses and more effectively interpret and apply their lea

Alignment is the intentional connection between course outcomes, learning objectives, assessments, activities, and materials. Course alignment builds a strong cohesive framework; helps ensure that both you and your students have accurate expectations about what will be taught in your course; and that students are practicing and demonstrating the skills you want them to learn.

The workshop examines strategies faculty can use to actively engage learners and create instructor presence in building a meaningful learning environment. We will discuss the role of faculty in providing guidance in the form of regular, substantive interactions and feedback on assignments throughout the course. Participants will have opportunities to practice editing and performing instructional activities in Moodle (e.g., providing feedback, grading, and communicating with students).

In this workshop, we will discuss how integrating career skills into courses helps students identify, practice, and communicate their skills to employers.

This workshop is designed to introduce the concept of generative AI, facilitate discussions about how it can be used effectively by faculty and students, help faculty navigate considerations and limitations regarding AI implementation, and recommend ways to design, revise, and adapt courses with AI. This workshop welcomes attendees regardless of pre-existing knowledge or experience using generative AI.
