CATL and TLT are working together to build a strong web presence that focuses on excellent, scholarly teaching by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ faculty and on the engaged learning done by ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students.
One way we plan to represent and highlight that work is through a “gallery” of faculty projects. Each gallery entry will have a similar format, but the content will vary depending on the faculty project being profiled.
Some ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ faculty have created research project galleries for ETLP, a grant-funded project coordinated by CATL. These examples follow the format we’re planning to use for all faculty.

We’re modeling our gallery after the developed by the University of Kansas.
For an example, see the gallery created by Andrea Greenhoot entitled
We’re hoping to steer our gallery to focus on student learning as we develop our work, as does KU. Some KU projects also focus on a unit (such as a department or program), rather than on one individual faculty member’s work. That’s an interesting idea, too, that we’ll explore.
Sarah Bunnell from KU will conduct the hands-on workshop to walk us through the development process. We anticipate that this will be a good start for some of us, and that it’ll give us a better idea of how to adapt the gallery approach to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.
If you are interested in using a gallery format to capture something about your students’ learning and your teaching (perhaps as a step toward more formal publication on that project?), please let us know.
