The 2024 Upper Peninsula Teaching and Learning Conference (UPTLC) will be hosted by Bay College in Escanaba, Michigan, May 13-14, 2024. This year’s theme is Embracing Change: Meeting the Needs of Modern Learners. This theme captures the ongoing challenges wrought by the pandemic, the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and increased awareness of the diverse academic and mental health needs of today’s learners. This conference will create a community of educators invested in honing human and technological skills for successful, sustainable teaching and learning. 

The conference includes pre-conference interactive workshops, optional social activities, and a full conference day of concurrent sessions, poster sessions, and “Birds of a Feather” gathering time. We’re excited to share four timely conference tracks:

  • Teaching techniques for online, hybrid, or virtual learning 

  • Teaching and learning in the age of AI 

  • Engaging modern learners 

  • Self-care for college students and/or college employees

The UPTLC is a regional conference focused on the practice and scholarship of teaching and learning in higher education and K-12 education. The UPTLC creates a space for educators to connect, learn, share, and continue growing skills for teaching and learning. We invite educators and educational staff/administration to submit presentation proposals and/ or attend this conference.

5/7 - Registration is now closed; we can’t wait to see you at UPTLC 2024!

The face of traditional learning is receiving a pedagogical makeover. Prior to the uprising of smart systems, educators have been revered as the gatekeepers of knowledge, but today, these smart systems have carved a presence in education known as AI. Yet, the question educators are left to ponder is, “Will AI diminish innate creativity or empower student ingenuity of learning?”

Today, we will unpack this question by exploring the pros and cons of assistive technology in the classroom. Faculty and students, alike, shouldn’t fear AI, but rather learn how to make it another tool for use in education. During today's interactive discussion, we will target: the benefits, the hurdles, the fears, the best practices, and the limitations of AI in education today. At the end of the session, participants will return to the classroom with strategies and techniques to safely and ethically integrate AI into the learning experience.
