Leveraging Technologies to Give Everyone a Voice

This session demonstrated various technological tools that instructors have utilized to enable constructive conversation around challenging topics in their courses. Many of the examples showcased when anonymity can be used as an effective lever for tempering conversation. Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, the session highlighted how technology can be a powerful enabler in giving voice to diverse perspectives, particularly those from marginalized or underrepresented groups. Participants learned how to leverage these tools to create a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment.
