Faculty Workshops
Unveiling the New Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines 3.0: Unlocking Inclusive Learning

Where: Online
When: September 17 | 2PM - 3PM

Join CTSI in unveiling the UDL guidelines 3.0 and considerations for implementing UDL and unlocking inclusive learning in higher education. Whether you are new to UDL or looking to engage in discussion on the new iteration/changes, this session is tailored to accommodate all levels of experience.

Discovering Quercus Data Insights Through and Interactive Workshop

Where: Online
When: September 18 | 2PM - 3PM

Examine how Quercus Data Insights can be used to better organize your courses and motivate your students by exploring past student activity. Using inquiry questions contributed by instructors, workshop participants will engage in a guided interactive activity, using the dashboard to explore real use cases. Instructors will have the opportunity to interact with the dashboard in real-time during the session, gaining immediate insights and feedback.
Plagiarism Detection: Switching from Ouriginal to Turnitin

Where: Online
When: August 26 | 1PM - 2PM

In this session you'll be guided through the process of switching from Ouriginal to Turnitin, demo its features and functionalities, and see how it is available to be integrated into your Quercus course assignments. 

Seminars & Talks

Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering applications in microalgae - Sustainable Biotechnology at KAUST 
Kyle J. Lauersen, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

Where: WB407
When: TODAY | 11AM - 12PM

Algae have long been promoted as alternative hosts for sustainable biotechnology concepts owing to their capacity for light-driven circular reuse of waste streams as inputs and the production of biomass rich in valuable natural products. The emerging capacity to tailor algal cell metabolism through genetic engineering for the sustainable production of desired biochemicals holds the promise of co-product generation from algal bioprocesses to multi-valorize waste inputs. Microalgal metabolic engineering has emerged in recent years due to the intersection of reliable DNA synthesis and improved understanding of transgene expression limitations, especially in the model green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii... (cont'd on event page)
BioZone BITS Seminar: Systems Mapping: Seeing the forest as well as the trees
Emily Moore, Director, ILead

Where: WB407; Teams
When: September 12 | 2PM - 3:30PM

System Mapping is a set of structured visualization techniques that help groups and individuals to look at the relationships and underlying assumptions of complex systems. Systems Mapping can be useful for researchers as they seek to understand the social, environmental and economic context in which their research sits – critical information when trying to bring new ideas to market or to assess the sustainability of a new technology. This interactive seminar will introduce systems mapping, share some real world examples where mapping has been used, and invite participants to generate and share simple maps related to their own research.
