Supporting System-Wide Innovation, Data Sharing, and Equity

The Center of Excellence for the at San José State University advances equitable, future-ready teaching and learning by fostering exploration, innovation, as well as digital and AI fluency across the CSU-system. 

The Center functions as both a physical and a digital hub, providing training, hands-on workshops, curricular resources, and pedagogical consultation that enable intentional integration of multimodal, digital, and AI-enabled learning experiences.

The Center promotes inclusive, scaffolded pathways to digital literacy, particularly in high-impact courses such as First-Year Writing (FYW) and DFW-rate courses, where strengthened creative and AI literacies can significantly improve retention, close equity gaps, and enhance student engagement at scale.
