Email Is Dead: How Today’s Student Preferences Are Impacting Campus Communication
Thursday October 17, 2024 10:10am - 11:00am PDT
In the age of instant messaging, social media, and sleek productivity apps, email might feel like an outdated relic to the modern college student. Despite being a crucial communication tool in the professional world, email falls short in meeting the expectations and needs of today's tech-savvy students.

Recognizing the challenges that come with email, many educators have moved on to non-compliant solutions like text messaging, WhatsApp, and GroupMe in an attempt to reach their students and improve learning outcomes. Unfortunately, students are bombarded with messages on these social platforms and most important messages are being left unread or deleted and marked as junk!

Join Pronto as they review communication and technology best practices. This data-driven discussion will include a deep-dive into the problems with phone, email, and text messaging while also providing a hands-on review of Pronto’s fully integrated messaging tool that has connected institutions with millions of students – instantly.

XR and AI and Moving Beyond FOMO
Thursday October 17, 2024 10:10am - 11:00am PDT
During this session we will introduce a variety of viewpoints about the expanding use of technology in education, such as AI, XR, and VR. We will look at some exciting XR and AI examples created at Bellevue College by faculty and staff, and we will discuss what you see as appropriate use for AI in education. This session will include a hands-on activity that offers food for thought about best AI practices. The idea is to encourage the use of technology with focused intention, rather than just for the fear of missing out (FOMO).

Data Driven Decisions. The Who, What, Where, When, and How of your LMS Data
Thursday October 17, 2024 2:20pm - 3:10pm PDT
Data access and querying has become more important than ever. As leadership across the country look to the LMS for answers to initiative-based questions, who do they turn to? What are they asking? Where is the data we are looking for? How frequently is the data needed? How do we best query, validate, and visualize our data?

In this session we will discuss ideas around Data Architecture, Data Pipelines, Querying Data for Visualization, and Leveraging AI through our New Offering, Intelligent Insights, to generate reports inside Canvas LMS and Canvas Data 2.

Using AI to Develop & Modernize College Curriculum
Thursday October 17, 2024 3:20pm - 4:10pm PDT
The central theme of our discussion will be to assist faculty in understanding how to effectively use AI to create and update curriculum. We aim to delve into the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing the way we approach education at the college level. We will explore how AI can be integrated into various aspects of the curriculum, from course content and teaching methodologies to student assessment and administrative support/services.
Our goal is to shed new light on innovative pedagogy/andragogy in a rapidly changing higher education landscape.

We will also ponder the broader implications of these changes for the higher education industry as a whole.
This session will be conducted in a discussion format, promoting an open conversation and exchange of ideas among participants. The session will be facilitated by moderators from Central Washington University’s IT Management Department.
