THE TECH EDGE

AI, Analytics & Inclusive Teaching Strategies

pro tips IN TEACHING WITH TECHNOLOGY

Generative AI (artificial intelligence) can be used in higher education to personalize learning experiences, support educators, and expand access to knowledge.

Generative AI

Your course contains a wealth of information on students’ behaviors and actions that aid you in making sound improvements. This data has the potential to tell a story about a student’s engagement, even predict student success within a course (Morrison, 2012).

Analytics

Think of these principles as ‘guidelines’ as you develop your digital learning experiences – learning videos, eLearning courses, and instructor-led PowerPoint presentations.

Multimedia Learning Principles

Accessible education can empower students with disabilities to develop the same skills and achieve the same level of knowledge as their peers.

GENERATIVE AI IN BLACKBOARD ULTRA

ACTIVITY 2

1. Log in to Blackboard Ultra.
2. Explore the generative AI features.
3. Reflect on the PIC-RAT model. R (Replacement, Amplification, Transformation): Is the AI simply replacing traditional methods, amplifying teaching practices, or transforming learning?
4. Take 10 minutes to explore these features in the context of the PIC-RAT framework. How could these AI tools be used in your teaching?
