He will use examples and practices from his own digital educator journey to frame what is possible, progressing from low-stakes engagements to complex innovative course designs. Dr. Hodgson will also highlight select strategies and approaches from the Digital Gardener Faculty Fellows program, a system-wide faculty development effort focused on upskilling faculty and helping them build better learning experiences through digital engagement. As part of the conversation on faculty development, he will share some of the critical conversations and considerations surrounding Generative AI, including creative approaches and guiding ethics of practice.
