Webinar | TL Snapshots: AI Practices for Learning

The EDUCAUSE Teaching and Learning Snapshot Series is a quarterly webinar event highlighting real practices, emerging approaches, and lessons learned from higher ed professionals working at the intersection of teaching and learning, technology, and data.

Each 60-minute Snapshot webinar:

  • focuses on a timely topic shaping teaching and learning today.
  • features six practice based snapshots that together create a broader picture of current practices across higher education.
  • concludes with opportunities for participants to explore concepts more deeply and connect with peers.

Note: Each TL Snapshot requires individual registration. Don’t miss out—secure your spot for each webinar.

Session 1: AI Practices for Learning

Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape teaching and learning in ways both expected and surprising. This webinar explores how professionals across six different institutions are putting AI into practice to support learning. Looking across the snapshots, we begin to form a more panoramic view of what’s unfolding across higher ed.

Snapshots

Snapshot 1: 2026 Student Guide to Artificial Intelligence | Dan Anderson

The Student Guide to Artificial Intelligence offers a practical framework for helping students develop uniquely human skills—such as critical thinking, ethical reasoning, creativity, communication, and judgment—needed to use AI thoughtfully and thrive alongside AI. Come learn how T&L professionals can use it to foster AI literacy, critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and responsible AI use across the student experience.

Snapshot 2: Calibrate Your AI Trust | Jennifer Culver

Learn ways to effectively delegate tasks best fit for AI. Find out where discernment needs to come into the loop before moving forward.

Snapshot 3: AI & Society | Sai Gattupalli

As AI enters classrooms faster than shared norms or guidance, educators face fragmented, tool-driven responses to profound pedagogical and governance questions. Society & AI intervenes by treating scholarly publishing as teaching-and-learning infrastructure. Through open, fee-free, scholar-led curation, the initiative supports educators across sectors in developing shared language, professional judgment, and equity-centered approaches to AI-mediated teaching, learning, and institutional decision-making.

Snapshot 4: Assessment in the Age of AI: NOVA’s Wraparound Blueprint for Faculty Success | Indigo Ericksen

Guided by Tazin Daniels' "Critical Faculty Engagement Framework," Northern Virginia Community College launched an internal grant initiative supporting faculty in course and assessment redesign that strategically adopts or abstains from AI use in meaningful ways through intentional design. Utilizing a Student Affairs-inspired wrap-around support model, the program drove faculty success through stipends, cohort collaboration, direct consultation, and robust advocacy from the Center for the Advancement of Teaching Excellence and AI leadership teams.

Snapshot 5: Start with “Create”: Inverted Blooms for Teaching with AI | Michelle Kassorla

Since 1956, almost every lesson from kindergarten through graduate school has been influenced by Bloom's Taxonomy, where "create" was at the very top of higher-order thinking skills. Now students start with “create,” so where does education go from here? Inverted Blooms solves that problem.

Snapshot 6: The Automated, AI-Powered Faculty Grant Matchmaker | Tracy Mendolia

This snapshot explores how a recurring ChatGPT task can identify grants related to innovative technology, match opportunities with faculty expertise, and suggest potential project topics aligned with grant requirements. The process offers a practical way to generate new ideas and encourage grant proposals that support innovation in teaching and learning.
