Who Should Attend
This online training is appropriate for faculty, instructional designers, and faculty developers who are looking to incorporate emerging technologies into teaching and learning.
This webcast will walk you through three technologies and how to implement them in your courses:
- Adaptive Learning – This brings personalized, highly targeted education to large numbers of learners. It offers individualized pathways where learners are able to move at their own pace based on mastery. You will learn the benefits of adaptive learning for students and instructors and how to implement it in your courses.
- Artificial Intelligence – Using AI can provide feedback on students’ work, assist with grading, and provide strong context for student learning and engagement. The benefit to an instructor could be enormous, allowing for more individualized attention to each student. Our expert instructor will discuss a course developed with AI framework, the lessons learned, and what the future looks like in regards to using AI in teaching and learning.
- Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality – The benefits of these tools can provide students richer engagement with content in hands-on situations. We will explore how to implement these technologies on a budget, as well as the future development of VR, AR, and MR platforms.
