| Universal Design for Learning Workshop for College of Sciences Faculty
We are glad to share about an opportunity to participate in a one-day workshop about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) course design strategies for online and blended learning environments. This course, offered by the Center for Distributed Learning (CDL), will help educators foster techniques to support diverse learner populations. The workshop will provide resources to support the implementation of UDL strategies, which align with the COS Inclusive Design Badge. Any College of Sciences faculty credentialed to design and develop online or blended courses (e.g., completed IDL6543, OFRA) are welcome to register. In this workshop, participants will identify UDL strategies currently in use, new UDL strategies to adopt, and leave with an action plan to improve learning for students. Please register by Nov. 22 as capacity is limited. Please register for this workshop only if you are able to attend the full workshop (if plans change after registration, please email Emily.Franklin@ucf.edu). Drinks and snacks will be provided and participants will have a break for lunch. Thursday, Dec 5th – 9:00am – 3:00pm – UCF Main Campus, Classroom Building I, Room 201

UCF Office of Research’s Mentoring and Research Collaboration Program for Assistant/Associate/Full Professors This program is intended to pair UCF senior and junior faculty researchers in a mentoring relationship that will increase the probability of success to secure external research funding. Mentoring can be initiated by either mentor or mentee. Mentors and mentees do not need to be in the same department. Mentees selected for a mentoring award must submit a multi-year federal grant proposal as the lead principal investigator (PI) within one year of the mentoring award. For more information on the program, eligibility, deadlines, and to apply, please visit the link below. Applications must be submitted through the InfoReady portal (applications submitted directly via email to our office will not be accepted). |
