Attend a Faculty Development Seminar Abroad There are several opportunities for faculty to learn how to take students abroad. These programs often involve the faculty member going to another country and taking classes on location about how to engage students in meaningful ways. |
|
Create a Free Textbook Using Open Education Resource Create a free textbook for your students or adopt an OER book for your course. Open Educational Resources (OER) promote the use of textbooks and other materials for free or at a minimal charge. By collaborating to create high-quality shared texts, the academic community can dramatically lower the cost of textbooks and class materials for the students they teach. |
|
Design a Service Learning Program Create a service learning course or add it as an option to an existing course. Service learning is a credit-bearing, faculty-directed, teaching-learning experience that is course specific. It strengthens academic content knowledge and sense of civic responsibility. Students build critical thinking skills as they engage in experiential, community-based activities that are aligned with and integral to academic course work. At the same time, the community (real people in real situations) benefits from assistance that would otherwise not be available. |

The OLLI Curriculum Committee is seeking knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging individuals to offer classes. |

Create a Class for Global Campus The Global Campus supports academic colleges and schools in the development of new online and distance education offerings from the University of Arkansas.
