Virtual events on teaching and learning

The role of CTLs in GenAI
ON DEMAND: As generative artificial intelligence (GAI) technologies rapidly evolve and permeate educational environments, institutions of higher education are grappling with how best to support faculty and instructors in adapting their teaching practices. In this webinar, we will discuss how Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) are responding to this challenge by offering professional development, resources, and strategic guidance to instructors navigating the integration of GAI into their pedagogy. Drawing on a mixed-methods study that includes a national survey and follow-up interviews with CTL leaders, we will provide a comprehensive overview of current practices, perceived effectiveness, and the barriers CTLs face in supporting faculty during this technological shift.
