Get an insider’s look at how FIU’s Office of Instructional Technology and Innovation is reimagining the learning experience. This session offers a glimpse into the bold ideas, evolving tools, and tech-forward thinking that are shaping the future of teaching at FIU.
This session introduces creative alternatives to traditional tests. Explore project-based, portfolio, and real-world assessments that foster critical thinking, boost engagement, and provide meaningful insights into student learning for today’s and tomorrow’s classrooms.
AI is not here to steal your job. It is here to grade papers, spark ideas, and give students fresh ways to learn. This session shows how teachers are turning everyday AI tools into allies that save time and make classrooms more creative.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping education, healthcare, and enterprise, but success depends on readiness and strategy. Leaders from higher education, healthcare, and global enterprise share insights on implementing AI responsibly, building resilient systems, and aligning technology with workforce and educational priorities. The discussion highlights practical approaches to leading innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape
We’re living in the most transformative time in the history of education. What does the data say about how education is transforming worldwide? From lifelong learning to the rise of generative AI, colleges and universities will need to navigate the impact of these trends at their own institutions. Learn what global trends are reshaping the future of ed tech and the education landscape.
Learn a rigorous, data-driven method to align education with regional growth. Using Harvard Growth Lab tools (Atlas, Metroverse), we’ll map productive capabilities and identify emerging industries, then apply AI to convert insights into competencies, projects, and a dynamic, industry-driven syllabus.
Curious how students really use AI? Hear FIU students explain study habits, shortcuts, ethics, and what faculty practices help or harm. A moderated panel plus open Q&A surface patterns, surprises, and practical ideas you can apply to policy, assignments, and support next term.
This presentation addresses AI anxiety as a mental health challenge for both students and faculty. It explores psychological impacts such as decision fatigue and imposter syndrome, while offering strategies to build AI literacy and strengthen human-centered skills like empathy and critical thinking.
