The Center for Transformative Teaching and its partners hold a variety of workshops and events ranging from those customized for specific colleges and departments to university-wide events such as the Fall Teaching and Learning Symposia.
We have changed how we manage registration. Beginning this fall, participants may register for all workshops of interest on a single page. To modify their registrations, participants use the link in their confirmation email. We believe this will make it easier for instructors to schedule, choose, and manage their registrations.

Learning Communities
Learning communities offer participants a chance to take a deep dive into a topic by offering a collaborative space to explore and discuss ideas, share experiences, and develop practical strategies for implementation. These communities foster meaningful connections, encourage diverse perspectives, and provide ongoing support for participants as they engage with complex concepts and challenges. Through regular interactions and collaborative activities, learning communities create an environment where participants can grow both personally and professionally while contributing to a shared body of knowledge.
Teaching with AI Skillshare
In this learning community, each session will be led by a UNL instructor that has incorporated AI into their courses. The presenter will describe their work while also discussing the lessons learned along the way that other instructors might consider when incorporating AI into their own courses. The goal is to build a supportive community space for instructors trying to better understand the possibilities and limitations of AI in higher education.
The AI Skillshare learning community will start on January 31st and will then meet on the 2nd and 4th Fridays from 12-1 pm.
Inclusive Teaching
In this learning community, participants will read and discuss Hogan & Sathy’s book “Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom”. The emphasis will be on practical ways that instructors can adjust their courses to promote the success of all students. The book covers aspects of course design such as syllabus language & course policies, classroom activities & interactions, assessment design, and group work.
The Inclusive Teaching learning community will start on February 6th and will then meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays from 2-3 pm.
