Now Accepting Nominations

The Summer Institute for Innovative Technology 2013 (SIIT 3.0) is now accepting nominations. The deadline to nominate yourself or someone else for the institute is February 1, 2013.

This year’s institute will take place during ten days between August 22 and September 6, 2013.  A $1000 stipend is provided when completing the institute.

The SIIT allows faculty to explore new technologies related to teaching in both online and computer-enhanced on-campus courses. To date, 32 faculty have participated in the first two SIIT sessions.

If you or someone you know would like to be a part of this summer’s SIIT cohort, please send an email to Heidi Harris (hharris@eou.edu) by February 1. Nominees then will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire, and participants will be notified of their acceptance by February 15. Previous attendees are welcome as nominations, but priority will go to first-time attendees.

The Summer Institute for Instructional Technology (SIIT) brings faculty from across the university together for a two-week intensive session focused on leveraging technology in the online and on-campus classroom. To see more about how SIIT fits into the overall goals of EOU, watch this.

Faculty created student tutorials using Debut and Microsoft Encoder 4, produced short video lectures to embed in Blackboard shells, and worked to design their courses more effectively around the Chico State University Rubric for Online Instruction.
