Faculty Award Winners
The CTL salutes the following faculty who received awards in 2008 and 2009.
CTL Awards
Ann Bowling, Clinical Instructor, College of Nursing and Health
The Center for Teaching and Learning 2009 Award for Outstanding Video-Based Distance Learning Teacher.
Over the last eight years, the university has increased the number of classes that use Interactive Video-Based Distance Learning (IVDL) technology. In an IVDL course, the teacher must simultaneously teach students who are physically present and others who are "virtually" present but physically at another location. Ann began teaching IVDL classes in the program's infancy and has developed a special talent for using the technology. Not only does she creatively customize the classes she teaches, Ann realizes the importance of direct interaction with all students in the class and takes time to travel from site to site to see them.
Martin Davis, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Management Science And Information Systems
The Center for Teaching and Learning 2009 Award for Outstanding Online Distance Learning Teacher.
Martin Davis’s ability to organize tasks and streamline the course creation process in the Master of Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and the Master of Information Systems have been invaluable resources for the faculty teaching in these programs.
In conjunction with the Center for Teaching and Learning, Davis leveraged the course template previously created by Dr. Vikram Sethi and designed a uniform course creation and modification process for all the courses in both programs. This template and process greatly simplified the course design workload for the faculty, allowing them to focus on creating content for their courses. The enhanced template also provided the students with a consistent look throughout all of the courses in their program, easing their frustration in having to learn a different organization for every course.
Marie Hertzler, Assistant Professor of French
The Center for Teaching and Learning 2009 Award for Faculty Development.
Dr. Hertzler has actively sought ideas, methods, and input to improve her teaching and has encouraged her colleagues to do the same. She attended many Center for Teaching and Learning workshops, seminars, etc. over the years. She asked CTL to collect mid-term student feedback for each of her classes and received very positive feedback from her students.
During the winter quarter, she inspired four other French faculty to have CTL collect mid-term student feedback for their nine classes, ranging from French 101 to a 300 level class. Over 130 students had a chance to participate in this instructional improvement process.
