SUNY FACT2 Task Groups

Posted:

Each year, SUNY FACT2 Task Groups seek to engage volunteers throughout SUNY with knowledge in specific areas of interest. The SUNY Provost and Council appoint Task Group chairs, who are responsible for convening efforts and reporting back to the SUNY Provost and Council meetings, as well as to the SUNY Conference on Instruction & Technology (CIT). 

AI and Accessibility Task Group Sign-up:

This FACT2 Task Group will explore best practices for leveraging AI to support faculty and campus efforts to increase digital accessibility of course content and access for students to academic resources and services. Building on the work of the previous Task Group on Generative AI in Teaching and Learning, this Task Group will look at expanding the AI Tools rubric to include assessment of digital tools for supporting electronic and information technology (EIT) accessibility.

Credit for Prior Learning Task Group Sign-up:

This working group will examine enhanced portfolio assessment practices supported by the adoption of technology solutions while developing clear recommendations for equitable campus structures and procedures. SUNY and the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) have formed a two-year partnership to support SUNY’s interest in enabling the award of academic credit through Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) in credit courses and programs. CAEL training and consulting through this partnership will support both the FACT2 working group and campus faculty and staff. Through the integration of advanced technology solutions—including AI-powered assessment tools—and robust campus structures designed for access and equity, the FACT2 Task Group will empower SUNY to expand access to credit for prior learning, elevate portfolio assessment standards, and ensure all learners have equitable paths to academic credit based on their skills and experience.
