CRTLE Technology Test Kitchens - Fall 2026

Technology Test Kitchen: Explore. Experiment. Teach.

Join CRTLE and OIT in the Technology Test Kitchen—an interactive space where faculty can explore digital tools, experiment with new technologies, and discover practical ways to integrate them into their teaching.

Our upcoming sessions will feature Microsoft Copilot: Deep Dive and Creating Podcasts & Videos, giving faculty opportunities to learn, experiment, and put new skills into practice.

Sessions are held in Trinity Hall, Room 105, and run approximately 30–45 minutes, followed by additional time for hands-on practice and exploration. Each scheduled day offers two sessions—morning and afternoon—with the same content presented during both sessions, so you can choose the time that works best for them.

Can’t attend in person? You can still participate! Key ideas and resources will be available asynchronously through the CRTLE website. Visit CRTLE Events and select the Technology Test Kitchen pages for additional information and resources.

Please sign up for as many sessions as you like! Each session includes brief instruction followed by time to play, practice, and create with CRTLE staff and campus partners.
