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.
Teaching with AI Skillshare
The AI Skillshare learning community meets on Zoom on the 2nd and 4th Fridays from 12-1 pm through April 25. Coming up...
- Feb. 14, Justin Olmanson and his colleagues, Azadeh Hassani, and Minji Jeon, will tell us about a recent study they did here at UNL investigating how students use AI. They created a useful taxonomy from their research that helps inform how we are using AI in teaching and learning.
- Feb. 28, Adrian Wisnicki, will give a short presentation on "How to think like a generative AI." He invites you to bring your toughest AI challenge and he'll show you how to get started with AI to solve it. Among the many other AI-related things he does, Wisnicki teaches a class called "Being Human in a Digital Age."
To be added to this series and receive emails and the meeting zoom link, please contact Sydney Brown at sbrown3@unl.edu.
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.
