IPAD mini2013 Making Learning Visible:

Implementation, Impact & Dissemination of Scholarly Teaching

iPad mini Incentive Grant 2013

Deadline May 31, 2013 5:00 pm


The Making Learning Visible inquiry project development series offers faculty the opportunity to produce evidence of teaching effectiveness that goes beyond IDEA survey results. Findings can be used as evidence of scholarly teaching in promotion and tenure reviews.  5 mandatory sessions this fall will take faculty through the process of creating and implementing a classroom inquiry plan with an additional optional consultation available on the final meeting date.  Faculty will place a course inquiry project documenting the inquiry on a CAFE maintained website to share with UAA colleagues and beyond.  http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/cafe/portfolios/index.cfm

We know your time is valuable and want to reward committed faculty who are willing to take the time to investigate and share effective teaching practices with their colleagues. Faculty who complete the process (see below) will receive a new iPad mini.  Participation is limited.

  • Attend all five MLV sessions 9/6, 9/20, 10/4, 10/18. 11/1, (11/15/2013 - final meeting is an optional consultation)
  • Introduce, document, and assess the new strategy in at least one course during the spring 2014 semester.
