See how students in Dr. Jeff MIlls' Quantitative Analysis class are teaming up with AI to crunch numbers, build code, and make sense of data! In this session Dr. Mills will spotlight creative ways his students use Gemini and Google Colab for Python projects—where the bots help, but the brains still lead. Come for the demos, stay for the “wait, AI can do that?” moments.

Think attendance is just about ticking boxes? Think again! In this lively session, we’ll explore creative and effective ways to track student engagement—whether it’s through Google Forms, exit tickets, myCourses quizzes, or good old-fashioned participation. Discover strategies that go beyond “here” to make attendance meaningful, manageable, and even a little fun. Let’s turn those check-ins into checkpoints for learning!

Do you ever wonder if students are really engaging with your video lectures? Panopto's in-video quizzing feature is a useful tool to turn passive viewing into active learning and find out what your students know in real time.

In this focused session, you will learn the complete workflow to check for understanding:

• Build: Add multiple question types (like True/False, Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, and Fill In the Blank) directly into your Panopto video timeline.
• Configure: Set quiz options to provide immediate feedback, allow retakes, or prevent students from skipping ahead.
• Assess: Access and analyze student responses to quickly identify common points of confusion and inform your teaching.

You'll leave this session ready to build your first quiz and gain valuable insights into your students' learning.

Gems are customized chatbots you can build in the Gemini App (gemini.google.com) that can help save time on repetitive tasks and get consistent results from Gemini. Explore how to build and use Gems to help with routine tasks and workflows.
