Immersive experiences provide great platforms for learning but implementing them in courses can sometimes be difficult. Virtual Reality technologies can help alleviate some of those issues and provide students with the ability to travel around the world and interact with places and objects in ways we only dreamed of as students.
In this presentation, Hannah Mudrick and Michelle Kaschak will share inclusive practices and tools that they have successfully used to create genuine connections with their students from the first day of class and throughout the semester.
Join us to hear how we created WestLaw video tutorials using Kaltura Capture to record user-friendly guides, and Canva to design a research poster on peer support for Math word problems. Both Westlaw and Canva are little-known resources at Penn State that help student and faculty research.
Anthology Ally is now enabled in Canvas. Based on our experience in the Spring 2023 pilot, we will discuss the alternative format options available to all students, the accessibility guidance features for faculty, lessons learned, and tips for how to get started using the tool.

In the spring of 2023, a group of Penn State faculty and researchers conducted a study on Penn State faculty and student perceptions of AI and generative technologies. In this session, the research team will discuss the summary of their findings. Using those results, they make several recommendations for instructors.
Did you know that the majority of disabled learners in your classroom have invisible disabilities that you can not see? The recommended strategies to reach these disabled learners actually benefit ALL learners in your classroom. This hands-on workshop will focus on strategies that you can use to make your course more universally designed for all learners. During the workshop, you will be able to apply your new skills to your course syllabus.

Did you know that the majority of accommodation requests are for disabilities that are not considered apparent? To make matters worse, that number only includes those students who choose to identify as having a disability. Imagine what it is like to struggle with a disability, but be afraid to request help for fear of judgment.
Fortunately, many strategies for supporting non-apparent disabilities are common pedagogical strategies. This workshop will discuss strategies to make your course more supportive of all learners and provide an opportunity to make a plan for implementing these strategies in your course.
