Plan to join us for faculty DOLCE talks on Educational Technology Resource Awards (ETRA)

Dear Faculty Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to join us this coming Friday, December 6th at noon (via Zoom) for our December DOLCE presentations and discussion. If you are unable to join us live on Zoom, please visit The Wheel in the subsequent week to watch the recording.

We will enjoy presentations by two DOLCE speakers, Debbie Fetter and TJ Ushing, both speaking about ETRA grants. Educational Technology Resource Awards (or ETRAs) are small grants available every quarter to faculty (staff resources permitting) who would benefit from the expertise of photographers, illustrators, audio engineers, videographers, and even 2-D animators in support of undergraduate classes taught at UC Davis. Find more by reading this Wheel article titled “Free What?! (What’s an ETRA?).”

Debbie Fetter – “Oh the Places You can Go...with an ETRA!”

Debbie Fetter, Associate Professor of Teaching for the Department of Nutrition, will share her various experiences with using ETRAs to bring lecture material to life by working with the experts at ATS--from designing new lecture slides to creating new in-studio lecture videos--the possibilities of using an ETRA are (almost) unlimited!

TJ Ushing – “What is an ETRA and why would I want that?”

Our second speaker, TJ Ushing, is the Audio, Video and Events Team Supervisor of Instructional Media and Creative Services (IMACS) at Academic Technology Services at UC Davis. Ushing oversees the staff that will work with faculty to create the media content that will support classes that benefit from ETRA grants. Bring your questions to TJ!

Whether or not you would like to apply for an ETRA in 2025, we hope you can join us for these short presentations and the conversations that follow. See you on December 6th!
