What is the result when you combine cutting-edge technology, paradigm-shifting teaching and world-renowned faculty? Starting this week, 16 faculty members at Case Western Reserve University will begin to find out, as they participate in the third annual Active Learning Fellowship.
The fellowship is coordinated by Information Technology Services (ITS) in partnership with the Office of the Provost and other campus organizations, such as the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education.
It provides faculty members at Case Western Reserve with a unique opportunity to enhance their instructional practices by leveraging technology and mandating the active involvement of both themselves and their students.
To accommodate the interest in this year’s fellowship, 16 university faculty members—up four from last year—were selected from the impressive application pool. The fellows will be separated into two cohorts: fall 2015 and spring 2016.
