Hi Jessica, We've seen this done a few ways by our faculty. One uses Google Docs and has her students put their most recent entries at the top so when they submit, she sees the new content right away. She sets up a weekly Canvas assignment, and students submit the same Doc (with their new content) ...

@Heather Brown and @Justin Ible, I appreciate you asking for more clarification. My Center for Faculty Excellence asked for a workshop around faculty wellbeing through/with AI. Their ideas were about using AI to reduce burnout, help with anxiety, assist with time management or free up time. I asked more ...

Hi all! Has anyone run across any tools or resources about AI (particularly generative AI) and wellness or wellbeing? Our faculty PD topic for the year is on faculty wellbeing, and I've been asked to lead a session on wellbeing & AI. Before I start from scratch, I'd love to see what's already out there! ...

When a legacy document is found, a user can choose to display the original document, or use the Image-to-Text feature to convert it. The tool reads ...

Hi Sharon, Ally will flag PDFs if they are not tagged and they provides how-to guides for tagging, but if a PDF isn't tagged, it needs to be edited in the original source file. Ally's instructions for this are here: https://help.blackboard.com/Ally/Ally_for_LMS/Instructor/Improve_Accessibility/Tag_a_PDF. ...

Hello all, We are looking into some PDF remediation options for our online courses. Might you share any tools that you are using or vendors who you contract work out to?

Hi Kristine, One more thing to consider as you think about turning this permission on. Some faculty use the setting where students must post their initial response before they can see other students posts. (This is a setting in Canvas; I assume Brightspace has a similar one.) When this setting is ...

Luke, thank you for sharing this. Can you share when you conducted the audit and when you posted this info? I found it really helpful information and want to share it out. Your post prompted me to look for accessibility statements and VPATs for these tools, but I didn't have much success there. ...

Hi Ricardo, I've attached our year-end survey. This survey mostly focuses on an evaluation of current services and programs, but we did include some forward-looking questions at the end. From the responses, we were able to identify what to stop and start for the next year. I'm looking forward ...

Thanks, Heather! I'm excited to contribute and share! Could you also add a "Career Development" column or similar? Our Career and Professional Services office uses some AI tools with students for interview practice. It's not a classroom use, but it is student facing, so I think it could be a good ...

Hello all, Heather's recent post about AI tools for students reminded me of a recent Canvas announcement and I thought I should share it here. Canvas announced a beta rollout of an Emerging AI Marketplace where schools can join a waitlist to be beta testers for different tools. The announcement ...

Thanks for the responses, Jen and Kevin. Kevin, you mentioned the channel recordings. Does your institution have a lecture capture system in addition to Teams? We currently have Panopto, and in addition to lecture capture, our faculty use it to flip their class and embed formative, low-stakes assessments; ...

Hello, I looked through the community threads, but I didn't see any other threads on this topic. Has anyone seen any good articles that showcase use cases on how generative AI tools are improving efficiency on the staff/administrative side in higher ed? I found a few good articles by Gartner ...
