On Friday, May 17th , Academic Technology Services hosted our final Faculty Forum of the school year.
As you may have heard, the 2024 Summer Institute on Teaching and Technology (SITT)
takes place on September 12 and 13, and will feature presentations,
interviews, and conversations with UC Davis faculty with stories to tell
about past and current innovations in teaching and teaching with
technology.
We are grateful for the faculty who have already submitted their 100-word proposals (please submit by Tuesday, May 21st),
as well as for the many others who plan to meet with a colleague or an
instructional designer to get feedback on their presentation ideas in
progress. We were joined by faculty presenters from past SITTs to
share about the process of applying, the eventual deliverables that they
delivered, and the increased teaching confidence and sense of
cross-disciplinary camaraderie they felt after participating in SITT.
Whether
or not you plan to present at (or even attend) SITT 2024 (and really,
we think you should), we invite you to participate in or to overhear
this conversation, gain wisdom from the faculty presenters and
instructional designers in the room, and benefit from the encouragement
provided by people who would love to see you, too, attend the Summer
Institute this year. We hope that our theme of “Digital Divisions,
Digital Multiplications” will inspire you to share your own thoughts on
teaching classes that are student-centered, activity-driven, and full of
helpful feedback for your students. We may also touch on AI. We host
SITT for faculty such as yourself, so we would love to include you as a
presenter.
