SUMMARY:Humanizing Teaching and Learning in an AI World (Summer 2026)
DESCRIPTION:This is part of a 2026 webinar series on Teaching with AI. Register for the full series. \nAs AI tools become more visible in higher education\, faculty are grappling with how to integrate them without losing what matters most: human connection\, trust\, and meaningful learning. In this 75‑minute interactive webinar\, participants will explore how humanizing teaching practices can guide thoughtful\, ethical\, and effective use of AI in teaching and learning. \nFaculty will leave with practical strategies for using AI to reduce cognitive load\, support timely feedback\, and create space for more meaningful interaction—while maintaining academic integrity\, equity\, and student agency in an AI world. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how humanizing teaching practices support effective learning in an AI‑rich environment\, including how trust\, belonging\, and instructor presence help students use AI responsibly and productively.\nIdentify ways AI tools can be used to support humanizing practices\, such as improving clarity\, accessibility\, feedback\, and instructor availability—without replacing relational teaching or professional judgment.\nApply at least one human‑centered\, AI‑supported teaching strategy that aligns with their discipline\, modality\, and student context while reinforcing transparency\, care\, and student agency.\n\nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator Ken Graetz. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.
