As we prepare for the Virtual Teaching and Learning Conference on November 5–6 via Zoom Events, we invite you to join the conversation early through our pre-conference series: Human-Centered Teaching in the Digital Age. This series offers a timely opportunity to explore how we can reimagine higher education with a human-centered lens in an increasingly digital world.

This panel session highlights why AI literacy is essential for today’s educators. Panelists will discuss AI literacy and fluency, sharing cross-disciplinary examples of responsible AI use and how AI can enhance teaching and learning. Participants will reflect on their readiness to integrate AI into teaching and learning.

In this session, we will explore course-level design strategies that integrate digital wellness practices – practices that seek to develop a healthy relationship with technology that balances the benefits and the drawbacks – without sacrificing academic integrity. How can course design guide healthy digital use for learning and beyond?

Unlock your potential and master the research methods that matter. This series guides you from curiosity to clarity, building your confidence and skills to design and conduct meaningful research. Join a supportive community of faculty as you discover, select, and apply quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, and evidence-based approaches tailored to your professional goals. Together, you will learn to make an impact across academic, healthcare, and professional settings.

Discover how mixing qualitative and quantitative methods can unlock richer insights into complex research questions across disciplines. This session guides you through the basics of mixed methods research, practical examples, and how to apply this approach to your own projects.

Learn to ask sharper, evidence-based questions using the PICOT framework. This interactive session will help you craft research questions that lead to real-world impact across health care, education, social sciences and beyond. Discover how structured inquiry can turn your ideas into outcomes that make a difference.

We are excited to announce that our LEC Advisory Council has set the dates and the theme for our annual teaching and learning conference. We look forward to providing a conference filled with insightful sessions and opportunities to connect with colleagues.
