Lightboards let you face your students while you teach—writing, drawing, and explaining in real time. They function like transparent whiteboards, allowing you to stay visually connected to students in both live, in-person and pre-recorded settings. In this workshop, faculty will learn how to use lightboards to create clear, engaging instructional content for problem-solving, demonstrations, and concept walkthroughs. No prior video experience required. The workshop will be held Thursday, Feb 19, 12:30-1:30 PM, in-person in Hunter Library 166. Please register below.
Faculty, staff, and administrators are invited to participate in a new AI-focused professional learning series that explores how generative AI is reshaping teaching, learning, and everyday work in higher education. This collaborative series is being offered by Coulter Faculty Commons, Hunter Library, and IT.
The series features three sessions, including From Detection to Design: Rethinking Assignments with GenAI in Mind, Everyday GenAI at Work: Boosting Efficiency with Microsoft Copilot, and Evaluating AI Information for Reliability. Together, these workshops provide practical strategies, shared language, and campus-informed perspectives to help participants thoughtfully engage with AI tools while supporting effective pedagogy, responsible use, and institutional goals.
In this workshop, instructors will explore how and why structural changes to assignments are essential in the age of generative AI (GenAI). Drawing on current research, the session emphasizes designing assessments that promote learning, integrity, and student engagement rather than attempting to “AI‑proof” coursework.
Discover how Microsoft Copilot can transform your daily workflow. This session will explore practical ways to integrate AI into routine tasks—drafting documents, summarizing content, analyzing data, and more. Learn tips and best practices to streamline processes, save time, and enhance productivity using Microsoft Copilot. Perfect for anyone looking to work smarter, not harder.
This session acknowledges the value of the (trained) human eye when working with new technologies, such as AI, to ensure that the information is accurate and reliable, and can therefore be used for some purpose/application (to make decisions, solve problems, etc.) without issue. The goal of the session is for participants to learn how to critically evaluate GenAI outputs to determine if the information can be trusted and used reliably, while enhancing our overall thinking skills.
