Division-Rep Talking Points

1. Nectir AI - Overview, Resources, Website, and DEMO
   Nectir AI is available in Canvas. It’s FERPA-compliant, faculty-controlled, and designed to support student learning—not replace instructors.
2. Spring 2026 Support
   Trainings, DE office hours, and 1:1 or division demos will be offered. Support is flexible and optional. Open Office Hours: Tuesdays 2:30-3:30pm
3. Technology Planning
   Routine replacements go through the refresh process; new or expanded tech requests must go through program review and vetting. Plan early.

• Ask faculty about student technology challenges.
  Please check with your programs about common issues students face using tools such as Canvas, Zoom/Panopto recordings, email, file uploads, or discipline-specific software, and identify any program-specific technology support needs.

• Identify students who may need additional technology support.
  Pay particular attention to students who may benefit from foundational support, including ESL students, returning students, and those who may not be digital natives.

• Provide feedback on possible solutions.
  Ask whether students or faculty would benefit from basic technology orientation sessions (“tech jams”) or other early-semester support, and share ideas on what topics would be most helpful.
