UT Summer Teaching Institute for Course Design

Summer Teaching Institute, co-sponsored by the Tenn TLC and OIT Instructional Services:

We are pleased to announce the UT Summer Teaching Institute for Course Design, funded by the Office of the Provost. There will be two overlapping tracks for different modes of instruction.

  • Blended or Flipped: a course that you want to teach in blended or flipped format, wherein instruction is conducted partly online and partly face-to-face. Participants in this track will receive a $2,000 stipend.

  • Online: a course that you will offer totally online and primarily asynchronous.  Participants in this track will receive a $3,000 stipend.

The Institute offers authentic, hands-on learning experience and guidance to redesign and develop exemplary courses regardless of your delivery methodology. Faculty will be introduced to best teaching practices, innovative use of technology, and quality standards for course development. Differences in stipends are based upon the time commitment to the institute, anticipated deliverables, and subsequent technology training.For a continued description and application instructions, please see the “call” linked above.  For a comprehensive view of the sessions and sessions that make up the Institute go to: https://oit.utk.edu/instructional/development/Pages/Summer_Institute_Schedule_2012.aspx
