CAST: 9th Annual CAST UDL Symposium: Through the Lens of UDL

by

I am beyond excited to be a part of a team of fabulous women who are presenting at the CAST: 9th Annual CAST UDL Symposium: Through the Lens of UDL.

On Tuesday, August 1, 2023 we will be virtually presenting our session:
ChatGPT: A Tool for Inclusive UDL and Culturally Responsive Instruction. 
Joan Giovannini, Marisha Marks, Jennifer Wallace and I will be walking our audience through an approach to using ChatGPT to explore UDL and Culturally Responsive Instruction solutions for faculty, staff or administrators.  Shout out to Jessica Egan who was a vital contributor to our research.

Here is our abstract: Technology continues to emerge in ways we may not have experienced. As UDL advocates and intentional course designers, our session aims at exploring the benefits and concerns of implementing ChatGPT to support faculty in designing instruction using Universal Design for Learning [UDL] and culturally responsive instruction. This session will be a collaborative presentation representing faculty and instructional design experts from two community college Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI).  This highly interactive session will investigate limitations for students with disabilities, solutions for aligning activities using this tool to a UDL framework, and possibilities for expanding the use into curricular design processes with an eye for culturally relevant pedagogy.  

2021 Massachusetts Colleges Online Conference

I presented at the Massachusetts Colleges Online Conference on June 2, 2021 based on my article published in Faculty Focus Meet Them Where They Are: Furthering Your Own Cultural Humility and Responsive Teaching

the MCO session had participants brainstorming & sharing ideas to inject curriculum and pedagogical approaches into online course design covering the humanizing topics of: cultural humility, antiracism, and inclusion. What is? What if? What wows? What works? Participants arrived with ideas, ready to roll-up their sleeves, get messy, and leave with ideas to implement into their online classrooms and share to their campus.

What participants thought:

Thanks for the excellent presentations and the viewpoints.

Thank you! I added late but truly enjoyed it!

Thanks! Great session.

Thank you for a great session!

Thank you I am always Learning!
