In this interactive session, faculty will explore how AI can support an accessibility-first mindset in course design and content creation. After a brief demo of select tools, participants will share successes, challenges, and open questions around using AI to remediate materials and reduce barriers for learners and build more inclusive learning experiences. Register to join the conversation and share your AI remediation workflow! 

Join fellow TSEM instructors as they share how the pedagogical choices we make in our seminars like active learning, iterative feedback, and sustained faculty-student interaction align with what educational researchers call "high-impact practices" (HIPs). These evidence-based approaches have been shown to boost student engagement and success. This session offers a chance to approach TSEM teaching through a new lens and discover how intentional instructional design choices can amplify the impact of the first-year seminar experience as a HIP.
