The Institute, designed for faculty new or relatively new to teaching, kicks off with a hands-on workshop exploring both face-to-face and online course strategies. Topics include:

Continuing in the fall semester, participants will further develop their teaching skills by participating in a Mid-semester Interview about Teaching (MIT) or peer classroom observation, and attending one group meeting. Upon completion of the semester, faculty will be asked to submit a brief written reflection/evaluation of their experience.
The institute is limited to 30 participants; faculty are eligible to earn a digital badge associated with the Institute. Continental breakfast and lunch provided.
