Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming how educators design courses and support student learning, but how can it be leveraged to make learning more inclusive and accessible? The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework provides a roadmap for creating flexible learning experiences that meet the needs of all students. GenAI can enhance this process by offering new ways to engage learners, represent content, and support student expression.

This interactive session will explore how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude can be used to personalize instruction, generate multimodal learning materials, and help students demonstrate their knowledge in ways that align with their strengths. Participants will experiment with AI-powered activities, discuss ethical considerations, and leave with practical strategies for integrating Generative AI within the UDL framework.

Confused about the origins of images in the age of generative AI?

Join award-winning war photographer and former media executive Santiago Lyon for an insightful overview of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)—an Adobe-led coalition of over 4,000 members dedicated to accelerating implementation of a transparent, open-source industry technical standard for digital content provenance.

As misinformation and disinformation challenge journalism, photography, and public trust, the CAI is accelerating the development of tools to verify the origins and authenticity of digital files. The initiative brings together leading media and technology companies, including AFP, AP, Reuters, BBC, DPA, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Getty Images, Shutterstock, Microsoft, Nikon, Qualcomm, and many more.

Discover how CAI is shaping the future of digital content verification—empowering news consumers to trace the origins of images, track edits, and ensure credibility from creation to publication.

In the online learning environment, ensuring accessibility is an ongoing challenge—whether you’re creating content in platforms like Canvas or using open educational resources. While accessibility is essential, integrating the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) takes a proactive approach to enhance the learning experience for all students. Attend this session to learn how AI-powered tools, such as a bot, can support both accessibility and the incorporation of UDL principles in your course content. You’ll also explore other ways AI can be utilized to improve the online learning experience, making it more inclusive and engaging for diverse learners.

Educators have plenty to do without the added task of figuring out AI. But we know AI is all around our students; we need to understand what it can do and how they might use it. Where do we start if we don’t have much spare bandwidth? How do we avoid getting overwhelmed by hype and options? In this workshop, we’ll look at two straightforward ways to try AI assistance. 

We’ll start with Khanmigo Teacher Tools, a free app in Canvas that guides you through common tasks like lesson planning and rubric creation. Khanmigo produces a draft, and we can ask for revisions. We’ll practice getting more out of AI by giving it specific directions and pushing it to improve. Then we’ll try uploading our existing materials to a chatbot like ChatGPT to get more tailored assistance with the same tasks. Participants will get hands-on practice with easy, guided approaches to AI that support our goals and teaching philosophy.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will engage in a series of increasingly challenging collaborative AI tasks, structured as breakout room challenges. Each task will explore the use of AI tools to enhance teaching practices and student learning. Topics will include effective prompt writing, designing assignments that reduce the likelihood of AI misuse, and facilitating comprehension of complex texts. By working through these challenges in teams, participants will deepen their understanding of AI’s role in education and develop concrete strategies to apply in their courses.

Are you curious about using AI-generated videos in your online teaching? Video content helps humanize the online learning experience and supports diverse learning needs through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). However, creating and maintaining quality videos requires significant time investment.

Enter synthetic media - AI generated videos and voice narrations produced from a simple typed script. These videos can feature either generic AI avatars or create a "digital double" of the instructor. While synthetic media offers exciting possibilities for saving faculty time, it raises important questions:

• How can we leverage synthetic media while still maintaining meaningful connections with our diverse student population?
• What is lost with synthetic media and gained with videos portraying an instructor's authentic presence?
• What are the practical and ethical considerations for using AI-generated content?

Join us to hear insights from participants in a CVC@ONE community of practice who have been exploring these questions. You'll also see a demonstration of how to create your own digital double video using just a script. Come discover whether this emerging technology could enhance your teaching toolkit!

Faculty, staff, and administrators, join us for an illuminating webinar as three California community college practitioners share their journeys in developing Communities of Practice (CoPs) focused on responding to GenAI. Discover why CoPs are powerful vehicles for tackling complex challenges like GenAI in teaching and learning. Our panelists will provide candid insights into their CoP design processes, implementation strategies, as well as struggles and successes.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from your peers and gain valuable insights for your own institution's AI journey.

Many educators have significant, well-founded concerns about AI, including energy use, bias, intellectual property rights, privacy, labor, and more. And yet, given AI’s omnipresence and growing role in society, teachers need to build AI literacy in order to better guide our students. We need to experience the usefulness and versatility of these systems to understand the choices students confront.

We’ll look at ways we can reduce AI harms by checking for bias, hallucination, and copyright violations, making choices to reduce energy use, and modeling transparency for students. We’ll discuss ethics-related differences between Khanmigo Teacher Tools in Canvas and common chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The workshop will emphasize how a skeptical approach to AI can help us navigate this moment and maintain a sense of our own agency.

If you’ve tried using AI in your teaching practice but want new approaches, please come and explore with us! We’ll discuss the following ways to extend AI use beyond basic task completion:  

• New ideas for AI teaching assistance from Khanmigo Teacher Tools in Canvas
• Creating personalized AI teaching assistance workspaces with custom bots, Claude Projects, and Google’s NotebookLM
• Getting feedback on how we can improve our pedagogical approaches
• Practicing assertiveness with AI: articulate what you want and don’t settle for mediocrity
• Prompting AI to take tasks step by step  
• Metaprompting: asking AI to help us use it better
• Asking for multiple, contradictory responses to get ourselves to decide what’s most important
• Generating podcasts about course materials in NotebookLM
• Voice mode: Chatting out loud with AI about course planning. 

You’ll leave with new ideas for creative experimentation with AI assistance to build advanced AI literacy and pursue your own teaching goals.
