What's In Your Toolbelt?

Peer-to-peer knowledge sharing is an ideal method for sharing pedagogical strategies, tools and apps used to create effective leaning environments. ID&D has started a What's in Your Toolbelt? document in the Faculty Senate – COVID Instruction and Town Halls MyClasses site. What tools and strategies do you keep in your pedagogical and technology toolbelt to create effective, equitable learning experiences for your students?  

Instructional Design & Delivery is looking for faculty volunteers from academic units in each college and school to serve as collaborators and build this resource. Please email suidd@salisbury.edu with subject line of “What’s in Your Toolbelt?" if you would like to help contribute to this resource.

The Maryland Open Source Textbook (MOST) initiative is seeking proposals for the Faculty OER Mini-Grant Program, which supports faculty efforts to increase access, affordability and achievement for students at Maryland’s two-year and four-year public higher education institutions through the incorporation of Open Educational Resources (OER) into teaching practice.

The 2020 MOST faculty mini-grants will provide recipients with unique opportunities to engage in communities of practice related to teaching with OER, creation of OER in high-need areas and evaluation of OER use in relation to student success.
