Course Readings CPR - Techniques and Technologies to Bring Readings to Life [In-Person] Online
Are students neglecting assigned readings, leaving your class discussions flat, or struggling to grasp concepts not included in your lecture slides? This session explores how to improve comprehension and participation and ensure the relevance of course readings in higher education.
This session will present some of the literacy challenges we’re seeing in higher education and some of the strategies that can help to better engage students in course readings. Then participants will see how Alethea, an AI-driven reading tool designed to help bridge the gap between course readings and student engagement, can help optimize course materials and ensure they resonate with learners.
Topics covered will include
- how reading and literacy is different in digital environments;
- how to distinguish between different purposes for course readings and identify appropriate strategies to serve those purposes;
- how to use Alethea to analyze and adapt reading materials, ensuring they align with students' comprehension levels and your teaching goals;
- how to create interactive reading activities using Alethea’s AI assistant;
- how to provide accessible formats and technology-enhanced reading resources; and
- how to foster a learning environment where AI supports both instructors and students in preparation, collaboration, and participation.
