A Message from Your Host

Director of Community and Market Development, Six Red Marbles

Fall 2026 Sessions

Three conversations. Three sharp questions.

Join one session or several, whatever feels most relevant to your work.

Session 1 · September 23, 2026

What Does AI Change About Faculty Work?

AI, Labor, and the Realities of Teaching

This discussion explores which parts of the faculty role AI is actually reshaping, from prep and feedback to grading and curriculum design, and what support instructors need as those tasks shift.

Session 2 · October 28, 2026

What Do Microcredentials Signal?

Stackable Credentials and What They're Worth

More people hold microcredentials than ever. This discussion asks whether that's showing up in better hiring outcomes, and whether these credentials are pulling learners into full degree programs the way institutions hoped.

Session 3 · November 18, 2026

What Do Instructors Need Right Now?

Faculty Support and Communities of Practice

This conversation gets specific: what support have faculty gone looking for this year, what's helped, and what they want their department to prioritize heading into spring.
