Technology Tuesdays take place the last Tuesday of each month from 12PM - 1PM. These are informal, internal presentations for DePaul University faculty and staff, focusing on educational technology and best practices for online and blended learning.
Flex Fridays are an opportunity for faculty and staff to experiment with the new technologies in the Trimodal classrooms. These sessions will run selected Fridays from 1PM to 3PM. Faculty and staff can come to the classroom and physically test out the equipment or remotely connect via Zoom and see what the experience is like for remote students and guest presenters.Upcoming Sessions

Microsoft Copilot is a free service that provides access to GPT 4 and DALL-E 3.
Microsoft Copilot, when used with DePaul credentials, provides you with important protections and safeguards that you may not find when using other free generative AI services, including:
