Faculty and staff across the entire UA System are invited to the 10th Annual UA System Scholars Institute on May 15-16 at the Bryant Conference Center. This year’s theme is “Lessons Learned and Future Directions: Technology in Teaching, Research and Service.”
There is no charge to attend and all are welcome, but registration is required. For more information, visit scholarsinstitute.ua.edu.
Since 2004, the UA System Scholars Institute has been hosted by one of the UA System campuses, rotating between UA, UAB and UAH.
The Scholars Institute supports systemwide collaboration and encourages a shared community of knowledge for implementing best practices into the use of technology in the teaching, learning and research processes. The Institute is an important professional development initiative for faculty in their use of technology in teaching and learning, particularly in support of the adaptation and use of new approaches to teaching with technology. Further, the Institute focuses heavily on the sharing of best practices across our systemwide community.
Presentations emphasize quality, evidence of impact, tools, and pedagogical and practical approaches, with time for colleagues within and among campuses to engage in collaboration and knowledge sharing. The Institute also provides hands-on opportunities for practice and implementation of classroom and online tools.
