Explore AI

Seeking to partner with the university’s units and departments, it is our objective to provide instructors with a gateway into the world of generative AI so that they might be better prepared to understand how such technologies relate to various aspects of their own teaching.

Please feel free to reach out to ubcatt@buffalo.edu should you have any questions or wish to potentially partner with CATT.

Explore AI workshops provide hands-on opportunities for UB instructors and staff to experiment with generative AI tools and explore their potential in teaching, learning, and professional practice. Each session focuses on a specific theme or challenge, offering practical strategies, guided activities, and collaborative discussions to help participants develop confidence and creativity in using AI effectively.

The Explore AI: Teaching and Accessibility Lab is a hands-on space for UB faculty to apply artificial intelligence to real teaching and course-design challenges. Faculty can refine assignments, generate alt text or captions, and create accessible materials aligned with Title II and WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Whether you are exploring AI for the first time or improving course accessibility, CATT consultants provide guided support grounded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. Please note: Drop-in availability — no appointments needed.

Stop by during scheduled hours for individualized or small-group support using AI to enhance teaching, strengthen accessibility, and align course materials with compliance standards.
