Hiatus for Fall 2026 + 3 Things to Share

ITSS Academic Technology and Course Design has published our 3ThingsWorthSharing series since February of 2023. This little feature helped share teaching advice, blogs & podcasts, scholarly articles, professional events, new tools, and resources on teaching, learning, and technology.
Our team is hitting a metaphorical pause button until January 2027 when our team will be full staffed and onboarded. (Oh, we are still available for consultations and emails though. Don’t stop that please!)

During this lull/reset, there are three digital resources to explore:

Teaching Support@UMN 

Teaching Support is collaboration between academic technologists, instructional designers, and educational consultants from the University’s campuses, colleges, and departments. This digital space is for all University of Minnesota faculty, instructors, and staff to finding resources, events, and support for academic and teaching projects.

UMN Office of Digital Accessibility (ODA)O

shares accessibility resources, web tools for identifying and correcting errors, and contact information for local and University support services.

ai.umn.edu 

ai.umn.edu is a clearing house for programs, events, training, resources, guidelines, and assistance with AI resources at UMN.
