CNDLS offers Digital Learning Days twice a year to help faculty adapt to current technological trends, tools, and methodologies. This hands-on training opportunity offers space to discuss and learn together at the beginning of each semester, typically held in August and January.
We stay attuned to faculty needs, providing responsive support to ensure faculty feel prepared to teach with tools available at the time. A recent example is our series of workshops and panels that explore the nuances of generative Artificial Intelligence. We also share recordings, transcripts, and slide decks in our ever-growing library of digital learning resources—see our archive below.
While current Georgetown faculty may be acquainted with the Canvas LMS, we recognize that faculty new to Georgetown may need support with what may be a new system. Canvas demos are a consistent part of our programming.
