February, 2021 Faculty Forum Invitation: “Bringing Your Research into your Remotely Taught Classes.”

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to a special Faculty Forum for February on “Bringing Your Research into your Remotely Taught Classes.” We meet this Friday, February 19th at noon.

Our UC Davis students’ advantages include not only our effective pandemic-era teaching, but also our world-class research. Whether this means making discoveries in our labs, conducting historical research, crunching huge data sets, or completing and publishing creative projects in multiple media, UC Davis faculty are always stretching or deepening the world’s understanding of our individual fields and disciplines. When it comes to teaching, this research informs our classroom lessons, anecdotes, and activities in a variety of ways that benefit our students.

For this month’s Faculty Forum, we will have some “ringers” in the Zoom room, colleagues such as Katia Vega, Assistant Professor of Design who is also a world expert on beauty technology, Laci Gerhart-Barley, who leads students to making their own fieldwork discoveries as citizen scientists, and Narine Yegiyan, a Communications Professor with an expertise on cognitive and emotional overload. We hope that you and your colleagues will also join us to participate in this month’s conversational Faculty Forum, even if you have never attended one of our previous events. We meet this coming Friday, February 19, 2021 at noon via Zoom. Please plan to join us.

Best regards,

Dr. Andy Jones

Academic Associate Director, Academic Technology Services

Editor in Chief of The Wheel: The Instructional Technology Blog of UC Davis

P.S. If you or members of your department would benefit from a tailored workshop or question-and-answer session with our instructional designers, please email us at instructionaldesign@ucdavis.edu to set that up. With a long presentation or a quick Q+A during an already scheduled meeting, we will gladly adapt our remarks to meet your faculty team’s needs. We would love to share with you and members of your program or department how ATS services and other technology tools could benefit you and your students.
