2024 Fall Faculty Fellows
Each semester the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning invites faculty to submit proposals for collaboration with CITL and LTS staff on various aspects of their pedagogy and research with the goal of providing access to staff and technology resources to enhance and advance their teaching.
For the Fall 2024 semester, we encouraged faculty to submit proposals in five particular areas:
- the use of generative AI,
- the use of virtual reality and immersive learning environments,
- the inclusion of inquiry-based learning activities and assignments,
- the creation of cross-disciplinary course moments, and
- the use of LTS flexible learning spaces to promote active learning
