Technology Teaching Fellows

June 20 – August 5, 2022: Online

The Technology Teaching Fellows Institute (TTFI) offers participants the chance to learn with other faculty members, CTL colleagues, and learning technologists.

Fellows propose, design, and develop a significant digital learning project related to a course that will be taught in the coming academic year (AY 2022-23). For example, participants might:

• Redesign an existing online course
• Develop a new online/hybrid course or an online version of an in-person course
• Develop interactive digital components for a hybrid or in-person course

Throughout the program, fellows will:  

• Explore evidence-based and inclusive practices
• Identify learner-centered strategies for teaching in online and hybrid environments
• Practice using UW-supported technologies to advance student engagement
• Develop and get feedback from other fellows on a new/redesigned digital course or course components

Expectations

Fellows will participate in all aspects of the Institute, including but not limited to:

1. Teaching Online 101, to reinforce basic online and hybrid course design and teaching skills
2. Three topical synchronous sessions, one of which takes place at your convenience. The others are 3:00-4:30 PM on Wednesday, June 22 and 3:00-4:00 PM on Friday, August 5.
3. Individual work on their proposed project

Compensation

Fellows receive $1000 upon completion of all institute requirements. Two-person teams will receive $500 apiece.

Eligibility

• Applicants must have an active UW faculty appointment at the time of their application and participation.
• Former TTFI participants may apply as part of a two-person team. The second faculty member must be new to TTFI.

Application procedure

All UW faculty members, regardless of technical ability, are invited to apply, either as individuals or as a two-person faculty team. We are especially interested in course transformations that will have broad impacts for undergraduate students.

How to apply:

Complete and submit the 2022 TTFI Application Form before March 18. The form asks for information on your targeted course and current teaching practices. You have the option of including a letter of support from your department chair describing the value of your proposed project in relation to student learning goals and outcomes, department curriculum, and faculty development.
