In partnership with UVA Online Education and Digital Innovation
During 2025-2026, the CTE is partnering with Online Education and Digital Innovation to run a series of virtual events called Plot Twists and Perspectives: Designing Online Learning That Resonates.
The series consists of 5 events, which are geared toward anyone teaching online at UVA. They will cover topics such as generative AI and online learning, summative assessments, and student experiences learning online.
Learn more about the first three sessions below, and look out for more information soon on the two sessions planned during Spring 2026.
