We are conducting a research study and want your input on how you use AI in your professional tasks, initiatives, projects, and learning design.

Every semester the University of Arizona welcomes online learners ready to explore, connect and grow. Instructors bring experience and creativity to their digital classrooms. But before the first announcement goes live, or the first discussion post appears, there is an important step that sets the tone for the following seven weeks: course readiness.

For many in higher education, AI feels like both an opportunity and a challenge: students are already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, while faculty are being asked to make sense of what it all means for assignments, assessment, and academic integrity.

Share your work at the University of Arizona XR Summit 2025, hosted by CATalyst Studios on November 14. We’re seeking presentations and demos showcasing innovative XR research and projects across disciplines.

We recently attended part one of a four-part workshop on Teaching with AI (by the authors of the book of the same name), and were reminded how quickly AI is reshaping not just the tools we use in higher ed, but also the ways we think, learn, and communicate.

The CIRTL Postdoc Pathways program prepares postdocs for teaching careers through evidence-based training, mentorship, and co-teaching. This year’s 28 fellows join a growing community of scholars dedicated to innovative and inclusive teaching at the University of Arizona.

The question is no longer if students are using AI: it’s how we choose to meet that reality in our classrooms.

Improve your online course with 3 simple strategies: add structure, set clear communication guidelines, and connect activities to learning outcomes.

Having an AI policy on your syllabus isn't just about preventing cheating: it's about helping students succeed while maintaining academic integrity.

This year, 38 graduate students and postdocs completed the CCT and CIRTL programs gaining hands-on experience and training in evidence-based, learner-centered teaching to prepare for impactful careers in college instruction and educational leadership.
