Good afternoon Campus Communicators,
Please help me in spreading the word about the following opportunities from UT's Teaching and Learning Innovation.
Opportunity #1:
TLI has created a number of certificate programs based on current topics of interest in the field of teaching in higher education, as well as our own unit's expertise, many of which are asynchronous. Topics include, but are not limited to: course-based assessment, experiential learning and inclusive teaching.
All of our certificate programs are free and open to all UT faculty and instructional staff (including graduate students and post-doctoral scholars).
Ultimately, our goal is for UT instructors, graduate students and post-docs to gain knowledge and skills that will enable them to use evidence-based teaching practices to enable the learning experience for all of our students.
For more information (including registration) visit TLI's Certificate Curriculum web page. Registration is now open for all six of our certificate programs!
You can access additional information for promotional purposes via this SharePoint folder.
Opportunity #2:
Registration is now open for TLI's Innovative Teaching and Learning Conference that will be held virtually on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 from 8:00am to 5:30pm.
Our theme this year is “Lighting the Way to Deeper Learning," and our goal is to highlight the importance of good teaching in higher education settings by featuring the innovative teaching practices that occur in this context. Our keynote speaker is Claire Major, world renowned teacher, consultant, and scholar. She is the author or coauthor of several books in the field of instructional development that include: Learning Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Faculty Online Learning: A guide to theory, research, and practice; Teaching for Learning: 101 Intentionally Designed Learning Activities to put Students on the Path to Success, and Collaborative Learning Techniques: A handbook for college faculty.
The conference is free and registration is now open. All members of the UT community are invited to attend, but registration is also open to members of external institutions. Please note, registration for the conference will close on March 12, 2021 at 5:00pm.
You can access additional information for promotional purposes (email announcement, quick facts, graphics) via this SharePoint folder.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you in advance for helping us promote these opportunities to the UT community.
My best,
