Join colleagues across central Illinois along with presenters Justin and Heather from ICC as they explore the intersection of culturally responsive teaching and trauma-informed pedagogy. We will discuss how to teach from an awareness of relational dynamics that motivates all students' learning. Our work focuses on applying this understanding to students with experiences of marginalization.

Generative AI can enhance student learning by stimulating creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In this hands-on workshop, you will work with faculty, CFE and COLRS staff to design or revise an assignment for your course that incorporates generative AI tools and techniques.
This could include ways your students could use Generative AI tools such as: ChatGPT, DALL-E, Gemini (Google) or Copilot (Microsoft).
Does it feel like technology is constantly changing and there is always something new to learn? That's because it is! Finding the time to learn new tools—or learn old tools that we never got around to learning—can be a challenge. That's where our Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet can help!
This event aims to shed light on the issue of bias in artificial intelligence (AI) by adopting an interdisciplinary approach. This event will bring together a panel of experts from various fields to uncover and examine the ethical and practical implications of AI bias. The multidisciplinary lens will enable a diverse exploration of how human biases subtly influence AI systems, perpetuating discrimination and ethical inconsistencies.
