Session Description:

This session is a brief introduction to three tech tools (Anthology Ally, Poll Everywhere, and Flip) that are free and available to faculty at the university. The session provides an overview of the tool, discusses ideas for incorporating it into your course assignments, and gives faculty a jumping-off point for implementation.

Ally: Our university's content accessibility service guides instructors on how to improve the accessibility of their course content and alter future behavior. Ally also generates alternative formats of the content for students.

Poll Everywhere: An online polling platform that allows students to vote on custom through text, smartphones, or on the website.

Microsoft Co-Pilot: an AI-powered productivity tool that works with Microsoft 365 apps to help users be more productive and creative.
