The
Faculty Development Institute (FDI) provides teaching and learning infrastructure
that meets modern needs for integrating technology across content
areas. We seek to create and support robust environments for teaching,
learning, and discovery for faculty and students that are grounded
in sound principles of learning, and in a thorough knowledge of
integrating technology for effectiveness and efficiency of effort.
Educause Award: In 2005 FDI was the recipient of the Educause Award for Systemic Progress in Teaching and Learning. Winners of this awards were honored before more than 6,000 of their higher education colleagues at the association’s annual conference last October in Orlando.
