Each session consists of 60 minutes of content followed by a 30-minute work session. \nThe April 2027 digital accessibility deadline is closer than it looks\, and AI can do work on accessibility that used to take hours. This session walks through practical workflows: multilingual text-to-speech for course readings and announcements\, AI vision for generating meaningful alt text and descriptions of charts and diagrams\, and conversion of scanned PDFs and image-heavy slides into accessible Canvas content. We’ll keep the emphasis on repeatable routines you can run yourself — and on the verification step\, because AI-generated descriptions and audio always need a human check. The 30-minute work session lets you run the workflow on one of your own course documents. \nThis session fulfills Competencies 1 and 3 of the Teaching and Generative AI Pathways Program and is open to Rutgers University staff and instructors of all ranks\, appointment types\, and disciplines. \nWhat to bring: A course document you’d like to make accessible. \nREGISTER \nQuestions about the Teaching with GenAI Faculty Workshop Series?
