CTC Ed Tech News February 18, 2014

Just a few tidbits for you:

Professor of the Future. I came across the Ontario Online Learning Portal for Faculty & Instructors. It's an incredibly rich set of resources for bringing courses online. My pick from the site to share with you this week is "Seven Habits of the Professor of the Future." One reason I am particularly struck by this article is the 2014 Horizon Report from the New Media Center and Educause  It sees a significant challenge to higher education technology adoption is low digital fluency of faculty. 

IDEA Survey. The Faculty Information Form (FIF)  for our online course evaluation system opens on Wednesday, February 19. If you want to customize the course evaluation and get more accurate results, complete the FIF. Here is a guide for completing it.  You will receive reminder emails to your UAA email account to complete the FIF each week, so doing so sooner means those emails cease.  

Read about the IDEA survey and contact Michael Smith in Faculty Services if you have any questions.
