SUMMARY:Exploring Academic Careers Beyond the Professoriate with CIRTL Alumni
DESCRIPTION:In this online panel\, we’ll hear from CIRTL alumni who have built careers supporting faculty\, teaching\, and STEM education beyond traditional professor roles. Our panelists work in faculty affairs\, future faculty development\, and STEM program implementation\, offering perspectives from a medical school\, a center for teaching and learning\, and a university-based STEM education program. They will discuss what their positions are like\, how they became interested in this work\, how their doctoral training and CIRTL experiences prepared them for their roles\, and what professional growth can look like in these career paths. \nSpeakers\n\nLenny Ramsey\, Director of Faculty Affairs\, Alice L. Walton School of Medicine\nBenjamin Ha\, Assistant Director for Future Faculty Development\, UCLA Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences\nC. Britt Carlson\, Associate Director for STEM Program Implementation\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\n\nThis is the third event in our four-part series\, “Exploring Career Paths with CIRTL Alumni.” \nEvent Schedule\nThis online event meets on Monday\, November 16\, from 9-10pm Gulf / 12-1pm Eastern / 11am-12pm Central / 10-11am Arizona / 9-10am Pacific. \nAudience\nThis event is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in academic careers beyond the professoriate\, but is generally relevant to anyone interested in understanding career trajectories within academia and beyond. \nRegistration\nREGISTER NOW \nThis event has no registration cap. Registration will remain open until the event begins on Monday\, November 16. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact David Larson (dlarson23@wisc.edu)\, who is supporting this event\, to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. In addition to meeting individualized needs\, we will also take measures throughout the event to support accessibility for all participants: \n\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\n\n\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order and to whatever extent supports their teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals. Within those goals\, individual programs provide different opportunities for participants to develop and apply evidence-based teaching practices. \nThis event supports the following CIRTL learning goal: \n\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.

SUMMARY:UDL + AI Design Studio
DESCRIPTION:The UDL + AI Design Studio is a seven-week redesign studio where instructors improve one real teaching challenge using Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—a widely recognized\, research-grounded framework for designing learning experiences. While UDL is highly respected in higher education\, it is often presented as a complex set of principles and strategies; this studio reframes it as a simple\, practical WHY–WHAT–HOW design cycle that makes redesign manageable and actionable. AI functions as a design partner\, helping instructors apply UDL more efficiently to refine activities and assessments with clarity and precision. By the end of this short course\, participants will be prepared to: \n\nAnalyze a specific teaching challenge using baseline evidence to identify where students struggle and what factors are contributing to the problem\nApply the UDL Learning Design Cycle (WHY → WHAT → HOW)\, using AI as a design assistant to generate\, refine\, and stress-test UDL-informed design moves efficiently\nCreate a cohesive UDL + AI redesign package that strengthens student engagement\, improves content clarity or access\, and supports meaningful performance\nEvaluate the redesign by developing a feasible implementation and evidence plan that identifies indicators of impact and next steps for refinement.\n\nInstructors\nV. Blue Lemay\, Binghamton University\nChris Cain\, Mars Hill University \nCourse Schedule\nThis 7-week short course meets in Zoom on Fridays from October 9 to November 20 at 7-8pm Gulf / 11am-12pm Eastern / 10-11am Central / 8-9am Pacific/Arizona. \n**If you are in Gulf or Arizona time: CIRTL Central observes daylight saving time\, so this course will meet 8-9pm Gulf / 9-10am Arizona after Nov. 1st** \nAudience\nThis studio is designed for CIRTL participants who are currently teaching or supporting teaching in higher education (or expect to teach in the next academic term)\, including graduate students\, postdocs\, and early-career faculty. Participants should: \n\nHave access to a real teaching context and be able to select one “teaching artifact” to redesign (e.g.\, an assignment\, discussion activity\, lesson plan\, etc.)\nHave access to an AI tool (institution-approved\, if applicable) and have familiarity using it for general idea generation\nCome with an open\, learning-oriented mindset—prepared to experiment with AI as a support for instructional design rather than avoiding it altogether\n\nNo prior UDL training or advanced instructional design experience is required. \nWorkload\nParticipants should plan to spend approximately 90 minutes per week on asynchronous work\, including short readings/videos\, drafting components of their redesign\, discussion participation\, and peer feedback. Total estimated time commitment: 2–2.5 hours per week (live session + asynchronous work). \nRegistration and Enrollment\n**Closed and at capacity as of Tuesday\, September 22nd** \nCap: 15. Registration applications open on Monday\, September 21st at 10am CT\, and applications will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis. Applicants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. Once applications close\, all registrants will be notified of their enrollment status. \nAccessibility\nIf you have access needs\, please let us know what they are. Contact Zoe Zuleger (zmzuleger@wisc.edu) who is supporting this workshop\, to let us know how we can help you have a successful experience. In addition to meeting individualized needs\, we will also take measures throughout the course to support accessibility for all our students: \n\nSending pre-session reminders with upcoming assignments to all students\nSharing materials for synchronous sessions with students (slides\, activity instructions\, etc.)\nEnabling live captioning in synchronous sessions\nIncorporating multiple modes of interaction into synchronous sessions\n\n\nAbout CIRTL Programming\nCIRTL Network programming is designed to develop future faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices to create undergraduate educational experiences that are accessible to all learners. Participants can explore our programming in any order\, and to whatever extent supports your own teaching development needs and interests. To help participants understand what they can expect across all our programming\, all CIRTL programming aligns with four broad learning goals. \nThis course supports the following CIRTL learning goals: \n\nGoal 1: Develop evidence-based teaching knowledge. See more Goal 1 programming.\nGoal 2: Connect with community to enhance teaching. See more Goal 2 programming.\nGoal 3: Cultivate teaching skills through reflective improvement. See more Goal 3 programming.\nGoal 4: Prepare for an impactful career. See more Goal 4 programming.
