Looking for practical strategies to navigate implementation challenges while maintaining course integrity? Interested in understanding when to act independently and when to collaborate with Accessibility Services?\nIn this session\, Accessibility Services will clarify the instructor’s role within the accommodation process\, including how accommodations are developed\, communicated\, and implemented under the duty to accommodate. The session will highlight key distinctions between accommodations and academic consideration\, and between inclusive course design (UDL) and individualized supports. Participants will explore common pressure points such as extensions\, notetaking\, testing\, and participation\, using case examples to demonstrate how to balance access with essential learning outcomes through collaborative problem-solving.

They additionally highlighthow these components are informed by UDL (Universal Design for Learning) andEquity-Oriented Pedagogy. We also discuss policies and course administrationdetails that are specific to the University of Toronto. The content covered inthese modules is applicable to face-to-face\, hybrid\, and online learningcontexts.Upon completion of the asynchronous modules\, you will beable to: • List the fundamental principles of course design • Apply the principles of Universal Design for Learning to your course design • Create courses that reduce barriers to learning and foster an inclusive environment • Develop effective\, well-designed courses and lectures that engage your students • Design a learner-centered syllabus that fosters student resilience • Describe considerations for equity related to all aspects of course development • Outline and implement University policies and administration concerning your course design and delivery Part 2: Online Workshops 2. Syllabus Peer Review + Q & A: Participants will receive feedback on their course syllabus and provide feedback to one of their peers. This activity will help participants identify areas of strength and potential areas for improvement in their syllabus. For this reason\, we require participants to bring a draft of a syllabus – it does not have to be a finished or polished draft and can be for a course you have taught before\, a course you are about to teach\, or a course you would like to teach in the future. The first synchronous session will also include time for a question-and-answer period\, where participants are welcome to ask questions about concepts introduced in the asynchronous modules\, or other aspects of course design. The first synchronous session will be 1.5 hours long. 4. Effective Practices for Engaging Lectures: This session focuses on how CIs can deliver engaging and equitable lectures. We explore three key areas\, including inclusive lecturing\, active learning\, and reflective practice. We will discuss strategies that are relevant in both face-to-face and online learning contexts\, and we will consider these strategies with accessibility and inclusivity in mind. The second synchronous session will be 1 hour long. Enrolment Information & Online Workshop Schedule 2.

The OECD Digital Education Outlook 2026 (https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/oecd-digital-education-outlook-2026_062a7394-en.html) finds that AI tools with clear educational guardrails may support learning outcomes\, while unstructured use of AI risks becoming a shortcut that may hamper genuine learning gains.  \nThrough Cogniti\, U of T is giving instructors control over how AI is used for learning. Cogniti is an AI platform embedded directly in Quercus — no separate accounts required — that lets you shape AI interactions around your course content\, your learning objectives\, and your pedagogical approach\, with built-in safety features to protect student wellbeing. \nIn this session\, you’ll explore how Cogniti enables you to: \n• Deploy course-specific generative AI learning experiences in Quercus that reflect your syllabus\, learning objectives\, and content \n• Guide students toward productive learning rather than answer-seeking \n• Monitor how students are engaging with AI in your course \nWhether you’re curious about AI’s potential\, concerned about its risks\, or ready to experiment\, we’ll work through how Cogniti can fit within your teaching context. \nMore CTSI Cogniti Programming (https://teaching.utoronto.ca/teaching-uoft-genai/genai-programming/) URL:https://teaching.utoronto.ca/event/introduction-to-cogniti-u-of-ts-ai-tool-to-support-student-learning-6/ CATEGORIES:Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260826T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260826T110000 DTSTAMP:20260815T130823Z CREATED:20260727T180821Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T130823Z UID:137858-1787738400-1787742000@teaching.utoronto.ca SUMMARY:Tune into Teaching: Student Perspectives on GenAI from Accessibility Services DESCRIPTION:Please note: session starts at 12:10am.Facilitator: Reginald Oey\, Accessible Learning Strategies Team Lead\, Accessibility Services How are students registered with Accessibility Services engaging with generative AI\, and what does that reveal about equity\, access\, and support?
