REGISTER NOW FOR THE SUMMER FACULTY INSTITUTE

Registration for the 2009 Summer Faculty Institute—the premier event for faculty who want an in-depth, hands-on opportunity to work on their technical skills and address their classroom and online instruction needs—is now open.

The institute will be held June 1-5 in 104 Gore Hall. Online registration will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. The institute is open to all full- and part-time faculty as well as participants from previous institutes.

This year, the institute has been redesigned to accommodate busy faculty schedules. In place of full-day activities, the program consists of a week of half-day topic tracks.

Each track reflects the need for substantive educational research and an awareness of the challenging economy to help you make prudent instructional technology choices.

Five tracks are being offered. You can sign up for a morning track, an afternoon track or both. Participants will work within one track with one lead instructor all week. You can choose from the following week-long, half-day tracks:

  • Developing a Personal Learning Network (PLN) for you and your students
  • Your Sakai@UD course: Design it, build it, be ready for fall
  • Connecting real-life teaching applications using Second Life
  • Integrating a multimedia production assignment into your course
  • Making the most of Microsoft Office

Full track descriptions and registration information is available at the Summer Faculty Institute web site.

Any questions, please e-mail ats-info@udel.edu.

INTRODUCING ACADEMIC TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Academic Technology Services (ATS), a new group within IT, has been launched this spring. ATS incorporates the operations of the PRESENT, from IT-User Services, and those of the Instructional Television and Digital Media group, from IT-University Media Services. ATS will bring together outstanding IT resources and support for teaching, presentations, instructional technology development projects, and a faculty community of practice. The new home for ATS is located on the second floor of East Hall. Faculty members wishing to schedule a consultation should contact ATS via e-mail at ats-info@udel.edu or call 831-0640 to make an appointment.
