2024 Winter Innovation Expo Posters

Make the HR training resource easily accessible; Provide feedback and insights to using GenAI in the professional growth track.

Attendees can:

• Discover shared libraries & plugins built to add the banner integration to their team's application framework
• Provide feedback to improve the available libraries according to their application's needs

Attendees will learn why creating software is different than most large-scale projects, and how to set up a software delivery process in their organization that reliably produces valuable features in a predictable fashion. This includes:

• How to define the work
• How to organize the work
• How to deliver the work
• How to measure delivery
• How to work within the bounds of grants
• What key roles and agreements are needed for success

• Understand how the Digital Accessibility Strategic Initiative advances DEI goals in the digital realm.
• Discover strategies, tools, and support for accessibility compliance across departments.
• Learn how to find more resources, incorporate best practices, and take action.

My poster would be highlighting DAC as an enterprise tool for organizing, sharing, and collaborating for marketing and communications at the University of Michigan (regardless of campus, unit, or funding.) 

By documenting our process and our lessons learned we hope to provide a framework for other teams and units to build their own documentation bot to improve and update their shared documentation. Perhaps that might inspire the development of a universal application that would allow teams to securely select their own "before" and "after" repositories.

By exploring the AI Training Simulator’s features, including customizable scenarios and dynamic feedback, attendees will discover how this innovative tool can revolutionize training, improve real-world performance, and empower individuals to succeed in high-stakes environments. This poster offers valuable takeaways for anyone interested in leveraging AI to elevate education, professional development, and workforce readiness.

Utilize AI along with API Directory services to make Data driven decisions.

• Understand the purpose of the UDP synthetic dataset and how it mimics real student and course data.
• Recognize the advantages of using synthetic data for developing and prototyping safe and effective learning analytics and teaching & learning applications.
• Learn how to request access to the synthetic dataset for their own research and development projects.

Developers will take away new techniques they can apply in current projects. Common questions: Are users able to access the app? Is the application logging errors? Has it exhausted available resources? Learn about the new technology that is being provided and how ITS Teaching and Learning is using it.

• Streamline the Check-In Process
• Enhance Attendee Verification
• Improve Security and Emergency Response
• Integrate Pre-Registration Tracking
• Increase System Flexibility
• Optimize Event Management
• Develop Phased Implementation
• Ensure Data Accuracy and Privacy
• Facilitate Continuous Improvement
• Support Diverse Event Types

Showcase interesting profiles within Michigan IT.

The goal is to spread awareness of the new training, which may be a better option for many units who already direct their staff to take older, outdated versions of data protection training.

We aim to show how existing website infrastructure and available features can be used to locate & collate information and train large language models on already available public information. In addition to improving results by manipulating keywords, phrases, and information from internal documents in shared cloud storage to deliver more accurate results to community members in a more natural questions and answers format.

In addition to improving the management of available data sources by validation and automation, contribute to future Maizey tool updates with improved management features for data sources, such as, but not limited to, direct crawling of XML sitemaps with error reporting or the ability to skip invalid URLs.

Attendees will have a greater understanding of what a disaster recovery plan (DRP) is and contains, as well as why it's important to write, test, and maintain service-specific DRPs and affiliated documentation. They will have a better idea of how to write and test their own DRPs... as well as what not to do when writing and testing them. Indirectly they may learn about change management and facilitation.

Learn how easy it is for end-users to discover software that they have access to an Michigan. Michigan IT colleagues are encouraged to become an editor on the Software Directory, add software titles and information about how users can get access to them through their unit, and promote the tool within their unit. We're currently soliciting ideas for a round of technical & user-interface improvements to the tool and welcome your feedback. 

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the process of adapting asset management tools for digital services to enhance service management.

Attendees will learn about an in production example of using AI to make data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).

Gain insights into how these solutions have improved efficiency and enhanced the customer experience for our diverse university community.

It's really not that important but I got an email asking me to submit a poster since it was included in 'hack with friends'. If I knew that it had to be this valuable I wouldn't have spent time creating it. Sorry.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how microlearning and gamification can promote AI literacy across diverse university roles and experience levels. Participants will leave with best practices for designing accessible, low-barrier training programs and practical ideas for integrating GenAI tools into their own workflows. The poster will also highlight lessons learned from the LLMonade event, providing valuable takeaways on fostering community engagement and driving adoption of innovative technologies across a university setting.
