Since it's inception in 2005 through the efforts of CAFE and eMedia, the Technology Fellows Program has successfully completed four summer Intensives resulting in 34 named Technology Fellows with six additional faculty completing their course implementations during the 2008-2009 academic year.
Goal of the Technology Fellows Program The goal of the program is to develop a community of instructional technology leaders composed of an esteemed group of faculty across academic schools/colleges/campuses at UAA who effectively integrate technology to support teaching and learning within their courses both face-to-face and at a distance. As well, Technology Fellows serve as mentors to colleagues interested in integrating technology into instruction as advocates for technology integration within the institution.
