As we get close to the end of the year, we'd like to remind all employees that CSULearn compliance training is required per CSU Executive Orders. To check if you have any outstanding courses that are coming due or have expired and are now overdue, please follow these steps to check:

1. Open CSULearn.
2. Click on Assigned Learning.
3. Find the compliance course that is coming due or that shows Expired and is now overdue.
4. Click on the REGISTER button to register for the course and get started.
5. If you started the course, but never completed it and it's Expired, click on VIEW DETAILS to continue and finish the course.

If you experience technical difficulties and need assistance with your course, please submit a ticket to the Chancellor's Office team.

Administrators (MPPs)
Please note that as an Administrator (MPP), you have access to the My Team & Manager Dashboard in CSULearn to view how your direct reports are doing with their required compliance training. Please reference the CSU Manager Dashboard Reference Guide.

Thank you for your attention to this important training. 

A shoutout to our staff in the SJSU Writing Center, who have created the AI Writer Toolbox  as a go-to for students who are curious or unsure about how generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT or Grammarly can be used as a tool to supplement the writing process in courses where use is permitted. In the toolbox, students can find an overview of the technology; strategies for using AI to help with writing, research, and revisions; and guidelines on how to cite AI use in their papers. They have also included an in-depth section on AI ethics and bias to increase awareness around the potential risks of using AI technology.

The aim of this toolbox is to increase digital literacy around AI technology so that students can make informed decisions about when and how to use AI while still developing their writing and critical thinking skills.

Way to go team!
