Join us this Friday at noon for a preview of the 2023 Summer Institute on Teaching and Technology (September 14 and 15)
Dear Faculty Colleagues,
On this Friday, May 19th at noon (via Zoom), Academic Technology Services will be hosting our final Faculty Forum of the school year, and we hope you will join us.
As you may have heard, the 2023 Summer Institute on Teaching and Technology (SITT) takes place on September 14 and 15, and will feature presentations, interviews, and conversations with UC Davis faculty with stories to tell about past and current innovations in teaching and teaching with technology.
Some faculty have already submitted their 100-word proposals (submit yours by Thursday, May 25th), while many others are eager for feedback for their presentation ideas in progress. We hope to be joined by faculty presenters from past SITTs to share about the process of applying, the eventual deliverables that they delivered, and the increased teaching confidence and sense of cross-disciplinary camaraderie they felt after participating in SITT.
Whether or not you plan to present at (or even attend) SITT 2023 (and really, you should), we invite you to participate in or to overhear this conversation, gain wisdom from the faculty presenters and instructional designers in the room, and benefit from the encouragement provided by people who would love to see you, too, attend the Summer Institute this year. We hope that our theme of “Small Acts, Big Impacts” will inspire you to share your own thoughts on teaching classes that are student-centered, activity-driven, and full of helpful feedback for your students. We host SITT for faculty such as yourself, so we would love to include you as a presenter.
This event will be recorded for your later enjoyment and edification. See you May 19th at noon!
