The Faculty First Program aims to support UTK faculty’s effective uses of technology in teaching. This is accomplished through a partnership between a faculty member and OIT in the design and development of instructional materials to reshape an existing course or course component. You will offer the content and serve as a subject matter expert, and the OIT consultants will do the development for you, incorporating the appropriate technology into your course. Proposals are due Thursday, January 24, 2013. Learn more about the program and access the full Call for Proposals<https://oit.utk.edu/instructional/development/faculty-first/Pages/default.aspx>.
