SUMMARY:Webinar | Findings From The 2026 Students and Technology Report
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight key findings from the 2026 EDUCAUSE Students and Technology Report and explore several areas that connect student expectations with institutional strategy: core technology and security services\, course experiences (including generative AI)\, workforce preparation\, and student support. We will also share recommendations to help institutions better understand student perspectives and strengthen student success\, career readiness\, and well-being. Across these areas\, the report reveals a consistent theme that we will explore during the session: students are adapting steadily as higher education and the broader technological landscape evolve. They bring practical expectations for how technology should support their learning\, approach AI thoughtfully\, prioritize work–life balance\, and remain generally confident about their careers—while also asking institutions for clearer guidance\, more consistent tools\, and fewer barriers to getting help and getting work done. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nGain insights into key findings from The 2026 Students and Technology Report\nConsider student perspectives on course technologies and learning formats\nExplore how students are using generative AI in their coursework\, including key opportunities and challenges\nIdentify student priorities for workforce preparation and confidence in career prospects\nDiscuss strategies to support student work–life balance and improve access to support resources\n\nPresenters: \nKim Arnold\nDirector\, Teaching & Learning Program\, EDUCAUSE \nKristen Gay\nResearcher\, EDUCAUSE \nNicole Muscanell\nResearcher\, EDUCAUSE

SUMMARY:Webinar | The AI Educational Double Bind: When to Lean In—and When to Refuse
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Kevin Yee will explore why every curriculum must sometimes lean into AI\, but other times\, practice informed refusal. We will focus on practical strategies such as how to craft AI-resilient assessments or methods of convincing students that AI shortcuts will endanger their future careers. \nAI is here to stay\, and employers increasingly are seeking students who know how and when to use AI. But higher education is not here only to focus on job skills. While we train brains to think\, students find AI shortcuts extremely difficult to resist meaning we must find ways to prevent cognitive offloading in large chunks of the curriculum\, while also finding space for AI fluency. In this webinar\, facilitated by Kevin Yee (University of Central Florida\, USA)\, we will focus on practical strategies such as how to craft AI-resilient assessments or methods of convincing students that AI shortcuts will endanger their future careers.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Rethinking Assessment in the Age of AI: Transforming Evaluation Practices with Human‑Centered Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Higher education is entering a pivotal moment in which traditional assessment models built for predictable\, instructor‑centered learning environments are being reshaped by artificial intelligence\, rapidly evolving learner behaviors and growing demands for authentic\, skills‑based evaluation. \nThis webinar invites educators\, academic leaders\, policymakers and instructional designers to critically examine how assessment can evolve to remain credible\, equitable and pedagogically meaningful. \nDrawing on his teaching experience across college\, polytechnic and university settings\, Humber Polytechnic Professor Redwan Siddiqui illustrates how AI is altering student decision‑making\, expectations of feedback and the cognitive processes underlying assessment tasks. The session integrates lessons on using generative AI for assessment redesign\, highlighting evidence‑based strategies to develop human‑centered evaluation frameworks. These include approaches that foreground transparency\, behavioral insight and authentic performance toward more resilient\, future‑ready designs. \nParticipants will explore how AI can strengthen rather than undermine academic assessment by enabling richer demonstrations of learning\, scalable evaluation practices\, and ethical\, learner‑centered assessment ecosystems. Ultimately\, the session reframes AI not as a threat to academic integrity\, but as an opportunity to redesign assessments that are more meaningful\, adaptive and aligned with the realities of today’s digital learning landscape. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nIdentify emerging shifts in learner behavior driven by AI tools\, and understand how these changes influence how students approach tasks\, feedback and evaluation.\nRecognize structural gaps in legacy assessment systems\, and understand why higher education requires new approaches that remain credible and meaningful in AI‑supported learning environments.\nApply cross‑sector assessment insights drawn from teaching in college\, polytechnic and university contexts\, illustrating how different institutional environments shape effective evaluation design for the diverse classrooms.\nExplore concrete assessment innovations informed by research on generative AI\, including methods that enhance authenticity\, transparency and meaningful performance measurement.\nDevelop a future ready perspective on human‑centered evaluation approaches that views AI not as a threat to academic integrity\, but as a catalyst for pedagogical transformation and higher quality evaluation systems.\n\nHost:\nRedwan Siddiqui\nProfessor of Supply Chain Management\, Humber Polytechnic

SUMMARY:Help Motivation Bloom: Evidence-Based Strategies for You and Our Students
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, participants will explore the science behind motivation and how it applies to both personal productivity and student engagement. Drawing on key evidence-based research we will examine what drives motivation—and what gets in the way. We will identify common barriers to motivation in our daily work and teaching environments\, and learn how to cultivate motivation—whether supporting students\, collaborating with colleagues\, or managing your own work responsibilities. \nParticipants will leave with practical ideas to enhance motivation\, improve engagement\, and create conditions where both they and their students can thrive. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify related theories from motivation research\nDiscuss barriers to motivation in personal\, work\, and/or classroom settings\nIdentify how you can improve student (or your own) motivation in work or the classroom
