Week 5

Join ASC for a lively discussion on the pros and cons of AI. We will be hosting a panel discussion with three industry leaders.

When creating digital content—especially materials for your Bruin Learn site—you have an opportunity to improve engagement and learning for all students, not just those using assistive technologies like screen readers. In this session, we’ll cover how to effectively use heading structures and write meaningful alternative text for images. We'll also discuss how GenAI can support (but not replace!) your workflow, with tips on reviewing AI-generated content for accuracy and bias. Presenter: Karen Sobelman, Associate Instructional Designer, Instructional Design and Media Production #digital-accessibility #supporting-all-learners #accessible-headers #alt-text #GenAI-assistance Each academic quarter, the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) hosts a weekly series of 10+10 Pop-Up sessions on Zoom. These brief, 10-minute presentations focus on specific topics related to course design, teaching, learning, and assessment, and are led by instructional designers and developers from TLC and campus partners. The “+10” refers to an optional 10-minute discussion following each presentation, where participants can ask questions and share insights. These sessions are open to all UCLA instructors—including faculty, lecturers, instructors of record, graduate student instructors, and postdoctoral scholars. Please direct any inquiries to instructorsupport@teaching.ucla.edu.

Where can your writing and research interests go beyond a field-specific journal article or academic conference presentation? Writing for non-academic publications offers graduate students the opportunity to flex their creative muscles and develop a broader audience for their work. This workshop will help orient students within the world of non-academic writing, providing guidance on where to publish, how to translate complex ideas for a general audience and strategies for writing a pitch letter to a non-academic publication.
