TLI’s Teaching & Learning Innovation Summer Institute 2018 offered a selected group of faculty members the opportunity to learn how to incorporate experiential learning or evidence-based teaching strategies into a course that they teach. After the Institute, they received awards ($3,500 per faculty member) to redesign their course to fit the requirements of experiential learning or evidenced-based teaching.
Below, you will find this year’s 2018 Faculty Fellows for both experiential learning and evidence-based teaching, as well as the chosen course they plan to redesign as a result of the Institute. We would like to thank these faculty members for ensuring quality educational opportunities for students at UT Knoxville. We would also like to thank the following campus partners for their presentations and contributions to the 2018 TLISI: Student Disability Services, Office of Equity & Diversity, UT Libraries, Office of Information Technologies, and the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
