This session provides faculty with foundational knowledge of artificial intelligence concepts and capabilities while demonstrating practical academic applications such as grading assistance, content generation, and predictive analytics. It promotes the responsible and ethical use of AI in education and enables faculty to identify meaningful opportunities for integration within their disciplines.

As a result, participants will gain proficiency in applying AI tools to enhance efficiency and innovation, develop discipline-specific strategies for adoption, foster a collaborative environment for sharing best practices and continuous improvement, and produce a scholarly capstone project suitable for dissemination.

This session equips faculty with practical skills to transform existing course materials into engaging, accessible D2L modules while building proficiency in tools such as Lumi, H5P, and D2L to support active learning and student engagement. Faculty will strengthen their ability to apply Universal Design for Learning principles and accessibility standards, design personalized learning pathways, and effectively use D2L’s New Content Experience.

By the end, participants will have a redesigned, ready-to-use D2L module, greater confidence and independence with course design tools, and the ability to create interactive, accessible content aligned with learning objectives, contributing to a cohort that can model and share best practices across the institution.
