We are excited to announce our Fall 2024 Faculty Development Schedule, which consists of a variety of face-to-face and virtual sessions in the following topics: accessibility, active learning, AI, Canvas, DEIJ, H5P, innovation, and student success. As part of this semester’s lineup, we are also launching a new faculty book club led by Becky Miller, AIeL faculty liaison and professor of psychology. All participants will receive a free copy of “Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning,” by James M. Lang.

Registration for individual workshops is available on the portal, along with a detailed printable schedule and a one-page at-a-glance schedule. We encourage you to register in advance if possible, so that we can plan accordingly.

If you have any questions about the fall schedule, or you have any ideas or proposals for a future faculty development workshop, please email John Freml at 217-786-4669.

Register to attend The Interface of Global Poverty, Inequality, and Social Justice, virtual workshop, Aug. 5-9, presented by the Midwest Institute for International Intercultural Education

This workshop will explore the interface of global poverty and inequality and global implications. What are the major factors impacting poverty and inequality? How poverty and inequality have evolved in the past several decades and are the prominent proposed solutions? How can social justice co-exist with poverty and inequality?

All accepted participants (limit of 15 teaching faculty) will be offered $1,500 or $2,000 stipends to develop a curriculum module based on some aspect of the workshop theme and then present it in a future MIIIE Conference in 2025 or 2026. The 15 faculty will be accepted on a “first-come, first-served” basis.

Application and registration forms can be found on the Midwest Institute for International Intercultural Education website.
