For institutional attendees only

AI continues to reshape teaching, learning, and the skills students need to thrive. This session brings together thought leadership, practical tools, and community perspectives to explore how institutions can thoughtfully integrate digital and AI capabilities into their classrooms and campus operations. We’ll begin with a discussion on emerging trends and research around student engagement and career readiness, followed by a hands-on workshop using Acrobat Studio and other tools to experiment with new workflows. The session will conclude with a fireside conversation featuring a NERCOMP community member who is actively using AI in their instruction. Attendees will leave with insights, examples, and practical approaches they can adapt for their own campuses.
