The UA System Scholars Institute continues Friday, June 12, 10:00 a.m. –12:00 p.m.. Panelists from The University of Alabama System, The University of Alabama, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and The University of Alabama in Huntsville will discuss using and supporting the use of Zoom for teaching, research, and service.
The 13th Annual UA System Scholars Institute is taking place as a summer series of online events. If you have not already done so, we invite you to register for the event series by completing this form: 2020 Scholars Institute Registration and Interest Survey. Online meeting information will be emailed to registrants the week of each event.
The Scholars Institute fosters a shared community of knowledge among members of the three UA System campuses. The online series will include live presentations, panel discussions, Q&As and other ways to discuss current challenges and opportunities in the use of technology in teaching and learning. Presentations will align with the institute theme, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Using Technology to Bridge Connections” and explore some aspect of technology’s role in teaching, research, and service.
Sincerely,
Melissa Green
