Future-Ready by Design: Course Review, LMS Redesign, and AI Integration for Institutional Innovation

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 | 4:00PM–4:45PM CT | Meeting Room 105, Level 1
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session
In a rapidly evolving higher education landscape, how can institutions improve course quality, promote digital equity, and integrate AI without overwhelming faculty? This session presents a multiyear, research-informed model that unites course review, Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) redesign, and professional development through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and responsible AI integration. Learn how a small university created a scalable and inclusive system that equips faculty to redesign courses with AI tools and UDL principles—empowering students with stronger learning experiences and foundational AI literacy. Walk away with actionable tools, rubrics, faculty development strategies, and a roadmap for building future-ready, sustainable instructional systems.
