FTLC announces new faculty award

To highlight best practice examples of teaching with technology, the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center announces a new award and seeks nominations from students, alumni and faculty and staff members.

The Pew Teaching with Technology award recognizes faculty who use technology in ways that are pedagogically sound, innovative or have been disseminated throughout the university.

Ron Garrett, FTLC assistant director, said the award was created with help from the Information Technology department to give visibility to outstanding projects and faculty members. Up to two awards of $750 will be awarded annually.

The nomination deadline is December 1. Nominating forms must be sent to the nominee's dean's offices. Garrett said the sponsoring division or school will then supply supporting information to the award committee by February 1. The award is not confidential, but self-nominations will not be accepted.

Nomination forms are available at the FTLC office; request one by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at x13498.
