Winter 2025 Workshop Series

Explore how to create strong, effective prompts in U-M GPT. In this session, we’ll look at key elements to help you generate a prompt that will get you the results you’re looking for when using GenAI. This session will also be beneficial for users looking for how to get started creating System Prompts in Maizey.

#Training

Join us as we dive into how to integrate accessibility best practices into your Digital Documents. During this session, we’ll cover the guidelines for creating accessible content, including the importance of effective heading sizes, text alignment, font choices, color contrast, and other key considerations. Whether you’re an instructor or staff member, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge needed to improve the accessibility of your content.

Do you want an around-the-clock TA for your course? It’s possible with U-M’s Maizey GenAI tool! In this workshop, the benefits of Maizey will be explained- ranging from a Canvas course aid or the ability to index your personal Google Drive files. The workshop will demonstrate a step-by-step process of setting up a Maizey. 

#Training

This workshop is designed to equip you with tools to make video content that meets accessibility standards. You will learn how to use live captions and transcriptions in Zoom, ensuring real-time accessibility during digital meetings and sessions. You’ll also learn how to add and edit captions for recorded videos using Kaltura Capture.

#Training

Mathematical equations and coding sequences have always been a source of frustration when considering how to provide accessible materials to students in Engineering courses. In this workshop, we will explore essential strategies for creating accessible documentation in STEM education, with a specific focus on mathematical equations and coding sequences. Participants will learn techniques to ensure all learners, including those with disabilities, can effectively engage with mathematical and coding content. By the end of the session, attendees will be equipped with practical knowledge and resources to transform their STEM documentation into inclusive, user-friendly materials.

#Training

Want a customized assistant for your data? Elevate your Maizey skills as we explore the art of ‘system prompting’ within the U-M Maizey interface. System prompts allow users to personalize how their Maizey will interact with end users, giving a Maizey project a custom persona.

#Training

Join us for an overview of the Digital Accessibility Grants program. This grant funds individuals who provide instruction that enhances educational development (official course offerings, faculty training courses, etc.) to make their Canvas or website course content more accessible. In this session, we’ll cover grant guidelines, expectations, and how to apply. We'll also have time for you to share your ideas and answer questions.
