We are thrilled to announce that Purchase College has partnered with SUNY Online Instructional Design Services to offer all Purchase College faculty and instructors access to tailored instructional design support!
This free hybrid workshop (via Brightspace and Zoom) provides a comprehensive introduction to the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework. Participants will learn why the UDL framework is important, how to apply its principles and guidelines to their own courses, and best practices for interacting with students with disabilities. Participants in this workshop will apply what they learn about UDL to design a new lesson or revise an existing lesson.
TLTC has received several inquiries from faculty about how we as an institution and a system are handling AI and what detection tools are available for faculty use. We understand that this is a loaded issue with many implications and a variety of potential consequences.
