    Reducing Student Ghosting: Don’t be Spooked by AI

    It’s that spooky time of year when some students begin to disengage, and when learners vanish, it can feel like a course mystery. AI can provide strategies and clues to help bring them back into focus. In this session we’ll explore how AI can support you with chunking content, generating retrieval practice questions, scaffolding assignments, and designing activities that keep students engaged and connected to your course. Join us Tuesday, October 28th at 11 AM via Teams to learn more. Register here and contact citl@tntech.edu with questions.
