Building interactivity into class doesn’t have to take much time. Chatbots can act as excellent brainstorming partners. When faculty enter their learning outcomes into a chatbot, they’ll receive ideas of how to translate them into engaging in-class activities in the bot’s output.
 

In this newsletter, we’ll brainstorm example activities using Google’s Gemini chatbot, which is now enabled for our Stern Google accounts.

NOTE: This is an in-person workshop. Plan to bring a laptop to follow along.
Creating video is a valuable skill for instructors and a key resource for students, but starting can feel intimidating. We'll cover essential tools like cameras, microphones, and software, and how to access them. You'll learn to plan and structure effective, learner-centered videos, gain hands-on recording experience, and share videos in Brightspace. Perfect for faculty new to video creation!
