Promoting Teaching Innovation through Purposeful Peer Interaction

Are you responsible for faculty development on teaching with technology? Are you seeing the same “cast of characters” and doubting the effectiveness of your outreach strategies? In this session, we will discuss these issues and more with a focus on the impact of peer-to-peer interaction on promoting teaching innovation through our Faculty Fellows program. We provide perspectives of the program administrators as well as viewpoints from our the grant recipients. We will share how both parties have experienced growth and change and how the lessons from past cycles have informed subsequent offerings of the Faculty Fellows grant program.
