About iTeach Online

iTeach Online is a hands-on learning opportunity offered by the Instructional Design Team at UAF eLearning. This 6-week event is a series of activities meant to help faculty get started building a solid online course founded in current research, relevant learning experiences, and with an eye towards participating in a formal Quality Matters peer review. Participants can expect to spend anywhere from 5-10 hours each week learning best practices, planning for course objectives alignment, and crafting at least one replicable course module. To see more details about topics, dates, and planned activities, click “Calendar/Details” above.

UAF eLearning’s Instructional Designers know how difficult it is to teach in today’s post-secondary institutions. If you’re looking to become a more dynamic and effective teacher, if you want to learn how to incorporate meaningful web tools into an existing course,  or if you want to teach online, they can help. The Instructional Design Team members all have experience teaching traditional face-to-face and online courses at UAF. They come from diverse disciplines and each one has impressive technical expertise. The skills taught by the team during iTeach Online will assist you in creating pedagogically sound face-to-face or online courses that are fun, possess academic integrity, and meet UAF’s academic guidelines.

CITE Fellows: the Chancellor’s Innovation in Technology and Elearning Fellowship

CITE Fellows are chosen through both nominations and a competitive interview process. We’re looking for faculty who are creative and  energetic risk-takers. Although we ask for tenured, tenure-track, and term faculty, we aren’t necessarily looking for experienced faculty. We strive each year to build a community of Fellows, each of whom brings something different to the cohort: years of teaching experience, a fresh take on traditional pedagogies, a passion for interdisciplinarity, or fascination with technology. What we want is fellows who are prepared to innovate, collaborate, and lead. Who is that person in your academic community?

Please make sure you speak to your nominee prior to submitting your nomination. The expectations of a CITE Fellow are high and the activities create an additional workload for any faculty member.
