Congratulations to our inaugural four mentors for the Colleague Connections Program, Virginia Brown (Dept of Population Health), MJ Johns (School of Design and Creative Technologies), Monica Milonovich (Nutritional Sciences), and Amy Kristin Sanders (School of Journalism).
In preparation for fall 2020, the UT teaching and learning community developed a wealth of resources to get us through the pandemic. We dove back into those resources, many featured on our FIC Commons site, and extracted some that may be helpful for instructors juggling course modalities in the first few weeks of classes to meet health and safety needs.
It's a season of celebration in the FIC! Hear from our director and resources from spring events. Also, take a moment to investigate opportunities for your future work.
Let's congratulate CTL team members for their achievements!
Anne Braseby received the Staff Service Award which celebrates and recognizes committed staff for their contributions. Anne is being recognized for her amazing 10 years of service!
As the semester wraps up, we hope you can attend the TEL Symposium to celebrate teaching and learning at UT Austin during this academic year. In addition, we're excited to announce 2021-2022 grantees and technology workshop opportunities.
ITL Symposium Activated Possibilities for More Equitable Learning on April 27-28. The spring inclusive teaching and learning symposium included a keynote address by Lydia X.Z. Brown and a series of engaging, round table discussions.
Rising to meet the significant barriers to learning this pandemic year presented, UT’s graduate student instructors found innovative ways to create community and address issues of equity to keep students engaged in the learning process, even in the most difficult of times. The Faculty Innovation Center, in partnership with the Graduate School and UT Libraries, was proud to celebrate some of these stand-out innovations at the 6th annual Graduate Teaching Showcase, held virtually this year for the very first time.
We hope you're finding moments of inspiration as we wrap up this week. We're excited to celebrate technology-enhanced learning on campus! Also, join us for the next ITL Symposium and final "After Times" discussion.
On Febraruy 26, 2021 the FIC hosted the annual Grants Showcase, which invites current recipients of the FIC’s Undergraduate Teaching Grants, Instructor Learning Community Grants, and the DIY Microgrants to share their project outcomes and future goals.
We know everyone is ready for and deserves much-needed respite during spring break! As this week wraps up, we are celebrating the work you continue to do in service of our campus community. Read on for the latest FIC news and what's on the horizon.
