When used correctly, AI can act as a powerful form of scaffolding, giving students the independence to manage their own accommodations and engage with course materials in ways that work best for them. However, true inclusion requires a dual-track strategy: using AI to reach compliance, and ensuring the AI tools themselves are accessible.
On the panel are Heather Moore, Associate Director of Educational Support and Disability Services at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and Jaafar Al-Azzawi, Access Coordinator at The University of Memphis, among others.
Our panel will discuss how to:
- Empower Student Independence: Learn how students are using AI to self-manage tasks.
- Bridge Learning Gaps Early: How AI tools can provide support for diverse learning styles.
- Avoid the AI "Dependency Trap": Ensuring students use these tools to enhance their critical thinking rather than replace it.
- Meet April Milestones Together: Share simple, collaborative ways to use AI to help your department reach new digital standards.
