Improving data-driven teaching and learning

Faculty Fellow Role

It is important that faculty are directly involved in the landscape analysis steps in addition to the implementation steps. Faculty will be asked to participate in 1 virtual meeting in each
March and May to begin discussions as a group about current learning innovations in their field and at their institutions. Faculty will then attend the UIA Convening in July to:
Share challenges and opportunities in key courses
Discuss what admins/faculty fellows are learning about what does and doesn’t work
Present on selected learning innovations from landscape analysis
Identify next steps to redesign a course on your campus

Finally, faculty will participate in a virtual community of practice, with events held twice in the fall and twice in the spring. From these events next steps will be identified for a larger scale implementation of successful innovations.
