WITH THE CTLE FACULTY TEACHING FELLOWS

Wrapping up a 2-year term, UHD Faculty Teaching Fellows (i.e. Krista Gehring, CPS; Kimberly Gleason, MDCOB; Bridget Mueller, CHSS; and Timothy Redl, CST), along with members of the CTLE team hosted another successful Teaching Café event on April 19. This concept, originally developed by Dr. Gehring for the College of Public Service, was adapted as a collaboration among the fellows for sharing foundational and emerging best practices in teaching and learning with faculty university-wide. While geared towards supporting adjunct and junior faculty, all faculty were welcome and over 40 attendees enjoyed lunch while learning about various topics. During this Spring 2023 event, the fellows and CTLE Instructional Designer, Fabiola Vacatoledo, led round-robin discussions on topics ranging from effective online discussion and feedback to considerations for the impact of generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT) on teaching and learning in higher education. In addition to benefiting from the content presentations and discussions with colleagues, attendees will be able to submit a plan-to-implement reflection in order to earn a digital credential toward the CTLE Certificate in Evidence-Based Instruction and Course Design. There are currently 187 UHD faculty actively pursuing this certificate.
