UTC full time tenure-track faculty are invited to apply for the UTC
Teaching, Learning and Technology Faculty Fellows Program for the
2003-04 academic year.
The project is funded by the UC Foundation, Academic Affairs, UTC
Center of Excellence for Computer Applications and UTC Walker
Teaching Resource Center.
The goal of the Faculty Fellows Program is to develop faculty experts
on the scholarship of teaching, including a variety of teaching,
learning and technology issues. Faculty selected for the program
serve as models to other UTC faculty on the use of effective teaching
and learning strategies and also provide limited support in the CECA
Computer Curricular Integration Lab (CCI Lab) and the Walker Teaching
Resource Center.
Scholarship of teaching is defined as research into and a study of
teaching, an investigation into questions related to student
learning, the "conditions under which it occurs, what it looks like,
and how to deepen it" (Hutchings & Shulman, 1999), These
investigations are done with the idea that faculty will improve
teaching and learning in their own classroom and also improve
teaching and learning within their discipline field or content area.
(See http://www.aahebulletin.com/public/archive/dec99f2.asp for more
information.)
The program is designed to help selected faculty to:
--Broaden research skills into the area of scholarship of teaching,
--Develop skills in instructional and curriculum design,
--Prepare and facilitate seminars for the UTC campus on issues and
topics related to the scholarship of teaching, learning, and
technology,
--Develop skills with software tools to design meaningful integration
of technology into the classroom,
--Provide support for activities in the CECA CCI Lab and the Walker
Teaching Resource Center, and
--Serve as visible and exemplary models of teaching and technology
integration in the curriculum.
Each Faculty Fellow selected will receive extra compensation for
participation in a summer Faculty Fellows Institute and one course
release time either Fall 2003 or Spring 2004. Faculty will also
receive funding up to $3,000 for a new hardware and software.
