Faculty Innovation Center: Resources

The University of Texas’s College of Engineering is committed to continual improvement of their undergraduate curriculum and they have created the Faculty Innovation Center in part to work on this process. Along with the work they do in the classrooms at the University of Texas, they also provide a number of tremendously useful online materials that are relevant to both those involved in engineering education and those who teach all manner of college courses. These resources are divided into several sections here, including “Teaching and Learning�, “Teaching with Technology�, and “Distance Learning�. All told, there are over eighty resources here, including a worksheet on developing effective lectures, a “best practices� overview for videoconferencing, and a guide to using student feedback.
