The E-Learning Fellows program brings together a cohort of 12 faculty members through face-to-face and online meetings to learn how to create and deliver high-quality online courses. The program culminates with each participant developing a complete online or hybrid course that meets uniform, high-quality standards.


E-Learning Fellows

Leadership UD is a year-long program for nominated faculty and staff designed to cultivate leadership capabilities and a leadership mindset among high interest/high potential UD employees.


Leadership UD

Overview

The LTC Studio space is intended to be a laboratory for faculty to experiment with innovative teaching practices.  There are two ways to engage this innovative classroom space: 

  1. Become a Studio Fellow for the entire semester
  2. Experiment with the Studio in a more tailored manner for a specific time period and activity during the semester.  

Faculty who choose to teach in this space pledge to become part of a community of practice that supports and cultivates their goals in teaching and student learning, whether throughout the entire semester or during a narrower window of time.  After teaching in this space, the hope is faculty will integrate these efforts into all of their teaching. Only faculty who follow the established process will be assigned teaching time in the Studio.

Studio Fellows

Each semester a small cohort of faculty will be selected via an application process.

Faculty who elect to become LTC Studio Fellows agree to:

  • Participate in cohort roundtable sessions (at least two offerings per semester)
  • Share and discuss their experiences teaching, both with their cohort and with their colleagues across the university
  • Try new methods of teaching and be willing to stumble in and learn from those pursuits
  • Help and support one another in their pursuits
  • Be willing to experiment with and adapt technology enhancements in the Studio
  • Assist with training incoming Studio Fellows by sharing pedagogical approaches
  • Complete a feedback assessment after participating in the program
  • Ensure the department chair of the Studio Fellow is aware that experimentation in the Studio could affect SET scores and feedback.

Faculty members who complete the LTC Studio Fellows program will receive:

  • An "LTC Studio Fellow for Teaching Innovation" designation
  • Opportunity to engage in cross-disciplinary community of practice
  • Consultation and support services from the Learning Teaching Center and UDit

Questions about becoming a Studio Fellow?

Faculty members interested in teaching in the Studio should reach out to LTC Fellow Nicola Work (nwork1@udayton.edu; 229-3252).


Writing with Friends is designed to provide large blocks of uninterrupted time for a small group of faculty to conduct research and write toward a wide range of projects, including journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, and grant proposals.

Writing with Friends recognizes that while research and writing are largely solitary, private activities, writers often find comfort and encouragement by working with and around other writers.  Writing with Friends is held several times each semester.

New Faculty Orientation (NFO) helps incoming faculty quickly get onboarded to the most necessary elements of UD’s community, systems, and support resources. It's also a time for new faculty to get to know one another and current staff and faculty who can help answer questions at any time as you begin and progress in your career at UD.


Learn More about NFO

As a Catholic, Marianist institution dedicated to the development of the whole person, the Learning Teaching Forum looks at how different parts of the University collaborate, cross boundaries, and contribute to students' holistic success and development. The Forum is an opportunity for faculty and staff to investigate and dialogue about what it really means to educate the whole person, both inside and beyond the classroom.
