As we head into the summer months, we would like to congratulate faculty working with the Center for Instructional Technology in our Faculty Fellows program.
The 2011-2012 Teaching Researching with Writing Fellows wrapped up a few weeks ago. This group of seven faculty spent the academic year exploring new approaching to teaching research with writing to undergraduates in their disciplines. The Fellowship was supported by the CIT in cooperation with Jennifer Ahern-Dodson of the Thompson Writing Program. In the coming months, the CIT will be offering blog posts from the participants about their course activities.
Faculty in the Duke Environmental Leadership (DEL) Program in the Nicholas School of the Environment began a Fellowship earlier this year looking at improving and building on best practices for distance learning, revising their faculty handbook and teaching modules used by individual faculty. The Fellowship will run through December 2012.
The 2012 Team-Based Learning Course Design Fellows group held their first meeting this week. Participants in this group, which includes seventeen faculty from different disciplines, will be working together through December on course design, effective group formation, peer evaluation strategies and design of assessments and assignments for courses being taught using team-based learning (TBL) in the coming academic year.
The Fellows program provides year-long support for a group of faculty working together to implement a curricular change in a program or department, infusing instructional technologies into the curriculum to improve teaching and learning. Applications for the CIT’s Fellows program are accepted for the program on a rolling basis throughout the year. Contact the CIT for more information about the Fellows or our other programs and services.
