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.
As the University prepares to implement the new Talon (Oracle) finance and HR system on January 2nd, 2026, there are a variety of activities that will take place in the coming weeks to transition away from our current systems (e.g., Banner Finance, PeopleAdmin, Eagle Buy, etc.) and cutover to the new system. Our goal is to minimize disruptions to business operations during this transition period.
Please visit the Talon Cutover site for a detailed list of all implementation dates.
