Walk away with concrete strategies to boost engagement, deepen learning, and make your course more relevant to students.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-14146-0-0-13\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"13\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\"><h3 id=\"tech-playgrounds\">   <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">     Tech Playgrounds   <\/span> <\/h3><\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Time: 12:45 - 1:30 PM<br \/>\nModality: online<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"session1a\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4px\">PICO Pathfinder Live: An Experiential AI-Guided Simulation for Teaching Feasible Systematic Review Topic Development<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 12px;font-size: 1em\">Author:\u00a0<a style=\"display: inline !important;text-decoration: underline !important\" href=\"https:\/\/medicine.tufts.edu\/people\/faculty\/shayesteh-jahanfar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shayesteh Jahanfar<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Want students to engage more critically with research rather than rely on AI for quick answers? Step into the student role and experience an AI-guided activity you can adapt for your own teaching. Using the PICO Pathfinder chatbot, you\u2019ll refine a research question, build PICO elements, and test topic feasibility, while seeing how structured prompts can guide (not replace) student thinking. Leave with practical ideas for designing hands-on, AI-supported activities that strengthen critical thinking across disciplines.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"session1a\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4px\">AI-Facilitated Case Scenarios to Foster Student Engagement, Professional Communication, and Clinical Reasoning in Hybrid Education<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 12px;font-size: 1em\">Authors: <a style=\"text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/facultyprofiles.tufts.edu\/kim-dao\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kim Dao<\/a>, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/medicine.tufts.edu\/people\/faculty\/melissa-burgemeister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Melissa Burgemeister<\/a>, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/medicine.tufts.edu\/people\/faculty\/benjamin-stern\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benjamin Stern<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Struggling to create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences in hybrid or online settings?

In this session, you\u2019ll experience a tool developed for a second-year neuroscience course at Tufts that helps students ask questions about complex material, generate practice quizzes, and work through case-based learning. You\u2019ll have the chance to try the app yourself and consider how it might translate to your own teaching context. We\u2019ll also share what worked, what didn\u2019t, and key considerations for adopting similar approaches so you can make informed decisions about integrating AI in ways that truly support your students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px absolute bottom-0\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-14146-0-0-14\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"14\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\"><h3 id=\"poster-lightning\">   <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">     Poster Sessions &amp; Lightning Talks   <\/span> <\/h3><\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Time: 2:45 - 3:15 PM<br \/>\nLocation: Jumbo Dome<br \/>\nModality: hybrid<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"session1a\" style=\"margin-bottom: 4px\">Students as Original Researchers: Exploring Methods of Extracurricular Teaching<\/h3>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 12px;font-size: 1em\">Authors: <a style=\"display: inline !important;text-decoration: underline !important\" href=\"https:\/\/tischlibrary.tufts.edu\/about-library\/about\/staff-directory\/elizabeth-mccall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cece Lasley, <span class=\"TextRun SCXW187516966 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW187516966 BCX0\">Elizabeth McCall<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>How can you support students\u2019 research skills without adding more to your syllabus?
