The Course (Re)Design Institute provides faculty with dedicated time to develop and refine their courses with support from the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), Krupp Library, the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), and the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS).

Special support was also provided for making courses more accessible with 1:1 and small group consultations with Dr. Liz Norell. Liz serves as Associate Director of Instructional Support in the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at the University of Mississippi. You can find Liz on her web site: Liz Norell.

In November, we had the pleasure of hosting Kevin Gannon, Director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFE) and Professor of History at Queens University of Charlotte, for our Fall Faculty Forum. This three-part event featured a lively discussion of Kevin’s book Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto, which advocates for reclaiming higher education as a space for transformative learning; a workshop that pushed us to rethink what student engagement and connection can look like; and a keynote that encouraged us to re-evaluate the concept of rigor for a new generation of learners. We’re deeply grateful to Kevin for his thought-provoking insights and to everyone who participated in making the forum a success.

Last year, on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, Bryant University hosted the Spring 2024 Teaching Summit in the AIC Forum. The event featured keynote speaker Mays Imad, who delivered an insightful session titled “Exhaustion, Burnout, and Transformation: A Sustainable Path Forward.” This interactive session explored the science of burnout, strategies for identifying symptoms, and effective coping mechanisms, transforming these challenges into opportunities for growth. Faculty members engaged in facilitated conversations, discussing how to apply these concepts in their classrooms to enhance professional growth and well-being. The summit also included a panel on “Disruption and Distraction in an Age of Interrupted Learning,” addressing classroom management issues and strategies to re-engage students. The day concluded with a panel on “Repair and Restoration of Connections in the Classroom,” where participants shared experiences and strategies for rejuvenating classroom dynamics.
