UVA has begun offering “tech sabbatical” courses, requiring students to put away their phones and laptops as part of their coursework inside the classroom and to commit to screen-free hours outside of it. The CTE's Michael Palmer comments on technology's effects on learning.

In this conversation with Derek Bruff, he talks about carving out a nontraditional academic professional path as well as his career choices and lessons.

UVA's Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, in collaboration with the CTE, invited applications for the Faculty AI Guides program for the 2024-25 academic year. Two faculty members from the School of Architecture were selected to join this important cohort.

The Mega-SoTL AI Project was awarded a $75,000 Fund for Excellence and Innovation grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. At UVA, the project is led by CTE Assistant Director Jessica Taggart.

Derek Bruff, an educator, author, and higher ed consultant, highlights our Teaching Hub website in his Intentional Teaching newsletter.
