Join us this May for a week dedicated to effective use of technology in your teaching and research. We offer over fifty sessions with a mix of everyday topics, emerging trends and discussions on successful application. The Institute follows a conference format and is organized in four tracks - Adding Value with Video, Foundations in Technology, Encouraging Engagement, and Tech to Transform Teaching.
We also encourage those who are interested in Adding Value with Video to apply for our Video Deep Dive which provides a stipend and extra support for those who have a specific project in mind.
