Video from recent DOLCE presentations by Susan Abplanalp and Debbie Fetter

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

Thanks to everyone who attended our DOLCE on Friday, October 2nd, 2026. With nearly 15 seasons of DOLCE behind us, we now look forward to every fall when we can welcome back two presenters and DOLCE audience regulars and newcomers.

Please review the short preview and the video of our October DOLCE presentations by Susan Abplanalp and Debbie Fetter, two excellent presenters who helped all attendees think more about integrating generative AI in our assignments and polling our students on the fly, even in large classes.

Thanks for your interest.

Please plan to join us every first and third Friday of the month at noon (via Zoom) for forums like this one.
