    In an age of constant distraction, attention is a precious and limited resource. Designing for learning is also designing for attention—an opportunity to nurture, protect, and sustain it. This workshop will explore strategies for engaging students across the entire learning journey: from piquing curiosity by framing a course around a big question, to modeling engagement and creating a classroom climate that invites participation. We’ll examine practical methods for “warming the course,” and sustaining focus through interactive content. Drawing on insights from theatre and learning science— with examples of how tools like Top Hat can bring these strategies to life—participants will walk away with practices to foster connection and design learning experiences that resonate in an attention-scarce world. This session is in collaboration with Texas Tech’s Top Hat Representatives. This workshop session is designed to be delivered in a face-to-face format; however, we understand that you might need to attend remotely for a variety of reasons.

    Learning doesn't end when the lecture concludes; it evolves. This workshop will explore how to bridge the gap between face-to-face instruction and independent study to meet students exactly where they are. As Title II ADA deadlines approach, ensuring digital course materials meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards is more than a compliance requirement, it is an opportunity to create inclusive, high-impact learning experiences. In this hands-on session, you will discover how to transform static content into accessible, dynamic materials by harnessing the power of AI-driven personalization and real-time engagement data. Learn how you can remediate and tailor your own materials, Open Educational Resources (OER), or interactive eTexts to achieve specific course objectives.

    More students are arriving in higher ed without the focus—or the habit—to engage with longer, challenging texts. With AI shortcuts and shrinking attention spans, the reading crisis is hard to ignore. In this interactive session, we’ll unpack what’s driving the decline and consider questions like: What role should reading play in a world of abundant digital content? Together, we’ll surface strategies to reignite comprehension and engagement, including approaches to designing immersive, multimodal reading experiences. You’ll also get a first look at new Top Hat innovations designed to support more intentional, connected reading. Come ready to be part of a collaborative conversation about reimagining reading for today’s students. This session is in collaboration with Texas Tech’s Top Hat Representatives.
