Faculty who consider themselves basic users or do not currently use technology in their courses are especially encouraged to apply. All faculty — core or adjunct — are welcome!
A $500 stipend accompanies participation in the summer institute.
The program features a 4-day institute in June, held on the Brattle Campus. Here, faculty will engage in a rich mix of dialogue, hands-on practice, project-based learning, reflection, and application to explore innovative ways technology can be integrated into their teaching. Regular gatherings over the course of the academic year will extend conversations and deepen learning begun at the Summer Institute.
Examples of the types of workshops you will encounter at the Summer Tech Institute include:
- Navigating the Technology Wilderness
- Designing for Engagement
- Google Tools: Collaboration Made Easy
- Blackboard Beautification Project
- Designing and Facilitating Online Discourse
- Enhancing your Blackboard Course Site with Voice Tools
