The CTE’s 2025 Summer Institute will be held online in Teams, and will feature sessions on several different topics that we feel are particularly relevant for teaching and learning today:
ePortfolios
Find out why and how you might want to use ePortfolios in your classes, and hear about potential barriers to their use, as well as actionable strategies for implementation.
(see the online program for details; no registration necessary- links for each session are in the program)
Generative AI
In the first three sessions, we will revisit the panel discussions that we facilitated last year; you will hear from some of your peers about how things may have changed (or not) over the past year with regard to school and department policies on the use of generative AI, how they may be encouraging the use of generative AI by students in their classrooms, and how they are using generative AI to develop and facilitate their courses.
And then at the end of the day, we are offering a selection of demos of AI tools and techniques that some of your peers are using in their classrooms.

Inclusive Teaching
FIrst, hear from some of your peers in a panel discussion about why inclusive teaching is so important and how you can begin to implement some of the best practices for inclusive teaching in both your course design and your pedagogy.
Then, join us for an overview of our new accessibility software Panorama and how to access it in MyCourses.
