Empowering Innovators: AIG's Collaborative Approach to Faculty Development
The Academic Innovation Group (AIG) was created to address the university's critical initiatives for enhancing teaching and learning in both traditional and online environments. This includes providing professional development opportunities to help faculty effectively incorporate generative artificial intelligence into their classrooms.
By consolidating various units related to academic innovation and faculty development, AIG is strategically positioned to offer more efficient and integrated support to faculty members. This synergy allows AIG to assist faculty in adopting innovative teaching practices, engaging with new technologies, and implementing the university's required initiatives more effectively. The unified structure of AIG enables a more streamlined approach to faculty support, ultimately improving the quality of education across the institution.
