We want to share in your teaching journey!
Dear colleagues,
I'm excited to share this special trendsetters issue of The Connected Professor with you! We're celebrating 17 faculty from across IU who are leading the way in embracing powerful approaches to teaching and learning with technology. They're not just adopting new tools; they're focused on finding better ways to engage and inspire their students.
The issue focuses on five trends driving innovation across IU. As you'll notice reading through the faculty features included within each trend, many of our trendsetters could easily have been included in multiple sections (which is why they're true trendsetters!). We hope you'll recognize that you also have the potential to be one of our trendsetters.
We hope these success stories will inspire and inform your own teaching journey. We've really enjoyed getting to know these amazing IU faculty, and we can't wait to feature more stories about the great work going on across IU. Please reach out to us with suggestions about other faculty trendsetters we might want to include in future issues.
In the meantime, be sure to consider some upcoming opportunities that could further your efforts in these and other areas—the Digital Gardener Initiative, the Extended Reality Initiative, and the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI) Curriculum Fellows all recently opened applications for their next cohorts of fellows!
